Early Morning Project

I love the fit of this brown t-shirt, and it matches a favorite dress of mine.

Unfortunately the front is full of paint stains.

Should I have thought about how well I like this shirt before I painted my kitchen while wearing it? Yes.

In any case, the shirt has paint on it, and I don't like to wear it out in public.

This morning I was trying it on and I thought I'd try painting on it with bleach.

It couldn't make the shirt worse, and it had the potential to make it a little better.

So I grabbed a paintbrush from the kids' art box, poured a little bleach into a jar, slid some junk mail between the layers of the shirt and began.

I did a little sketch in a notebook and then painted on the shirt freehand.

The worst stain was on the bottom and it was a tannish yellow color so the bleach covered it up perfectly.

The bleach wasn't entirely predictable, sometimes it bled and others it didn't.

I need to get one of those bleach pens that I have heard tell of and try this again.

I am washing it now, so I'm still not quite sure that my experiment will work out, but it was a fun thing to do and it took 20 minutes.

Yet another problem that I lived with for 3 years that took 20 minutes to fix.

Darn my procrastination.

What's on your list of things to do today?

Update - It worked!
