I am so sick of all my shirts that I was close to abandoning them for a whole new wardrobe, but this is the perfect solution for giving my clothes a much needed makeover without spending my whole paycheck from Dish. Hooray! Where do you come up with such good ideas? Do you have any places in particular that give you inspiration? I’m a big fan of HGTV and DIY Network for project ideas. I record everything I see on those channels; it has turned into quite the addiction! Luckily, we have the Hopper DVR in my home that comes with loads of recording space since my husband does not share my love for DIY. I wish I was clever enough to think of ideas on my own though! I give you tons of props on this one. I can’t wait to try it!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08521069842911049019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3639672379499089880.post-15524763695503860442012-07-19T08:49:56.010-07:002012-07-19T08:49:56.010-07:00I featured you today!

If not, at least I got a little more wear out of them than I would have if they had gone to the garbage heap with stains on 'em. <br /><br />Thanks for stopping by!Peggy Meckling-Bakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15727229734392586207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3639672379499089880.post-60258457025023819072012-07-16T08:05:50.296-07:002012-07-16T08:05:50.296-07:00Hi - Connie is correct, bleach does degrade the fa...Hi - Connie is correct, bleach does degrade the fabric each time the treated area becomes wet or is washed and you will eventually have a hole. The easy way to stop the bleach action and preserve the fabric is to rinse the garment in a fairly strong distilled vinegar solution and then rinse all of the vinegar out in cold water. This basically neutralizes the bleach. (Learned this a LONG time ago from my Mom when bleaching jeans and cutoffs was all the rage).<br /><br />Love the designs, what a great idea!Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16318505681795222803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3639672379499089880.post-71813335123582927872012-07-15T18:45:08.223-07:002012-07-15T18:45:08.223-07:00Hi Connie!

Curious, anyone out there know how long the hold up after bleaching?
