Bleach

  I am making a blouse in Textiles. I had bought this really pretty pink fabric with patterns on it. I though if I made the blouse with only pink, it might look a little too pink. In the end I decided to make the collar and the pockets of the blouse white, so it can be a contrast to all the pink and balance out all the colours.
  I didn't want to waste money on buying a very small amount of white fabric, so I asked my auntie if she had any old while bed sheets or something. In the end, she pulled out this very nice table cloth that has many stains on it. I didn't really mind the stains because the cloth was very big, and there was plenty of fabric that were completely white. The table cloth also had flowered embroidered on, so I thought I could cut out the flowers for decorations or something.
  When I cut the fabric for my collar, and facing, I didn't really pay attention to the stains on the fabric. My fabric ended up having multiple stains, and didn't look so nice. Yesterday I brought it home, and bleached it in hopes of getting the stains off. But unfortunately the stains must have been from a very very long time ago, so it didn't come off at all. However the fabric itself was brighter and whiter, which is of course very nice indeed.
  I hope that when I finish the blouse there wouldn't be a permanent stain right on my collar or somewhere noticeable. As long as I can't see the satin clearly, I'm fine. But if it is somewhere everyone can see, I might have to re-cut the pieces and do it over again. I really hope that doesn't happen, because it not only wastes fabric, but it also wastes time!
