I have a bleach spot on a linen navy top. Any ideas what I can do to disguise it?

Blue wide-nib marker pen

Dye it navy, this covering the bleached spot!

Or Dylon navy blue dye in the washing machine? (I’m just about to do the same 😊)

Tie dye using bleach, it would look very effective.

Dye it navy?I have often done this when I have ruined things or don’t like the colour. Sometimes seams are slightly different but generally have meant I have been able to wear it again.

I wasn’t sure if the Sue would cover the bleach spot ?

I’ve Sharpied one on the back of a coat, worked well

Yes it does providing the bleach residue has been washed out. My husband dyed his canvas Levis as he had splashed them with bleach. Great job.

Marker pen. Very effective.

You can buy dye pens. :-)

As a short-term filler I used to raid the DC's felt tip pens.

Sharpies are great so long as you can find one to match your top.

I have a much loved linen tunic that's got a bleach spot on it. Dying it didn't work, for some bizarre reason so I use a sharpie.

Again, bizarrely, the sharpie keeps washing out yet, if I were to get a different coloured sharpie on my top, you can bet that the stain wouldn't come off.

I'm sure there's a law for this ...Sharpie's Law maybe?

Hmmm... that might make a good thread...?

Sharpies law 😂😂

TimandGinger · 16/07/2022 17:26

Dylon is the one I was thinking of but sure there’s others.

My emergency work trousers have a bleach stain on them. I have to sharpie them in every time I wear them. Note: don't do it while wearing said item, it leads to interesting questions if someone sees your legs that day or the next!!!
