Not quite what I was going for...


unexpected result

So I wasn't quite happy with that yellow fabric for the moon in the Haunted House kit in the previous post. I wanted a lighter, brighter version, like the one on the cover of the kit. Time to experiment with some bleach...
A few minutes later when I went to rinse it out - this is what I found: a pretty pink piece of fabric! Hm, interesting... - how did that happen? Now that could be an interesting colour for a moon, ("The night the moon turned the colour of blood..."), but I think I prefer the original dark yellow!
Luckily the kit had enough fabric for four moons, so I had taken the precaution of cutting it apart and carry out my experiment on one little piece, so there's still plenty of the original colour!
Well, back to Start, but with a pretty piece of pink fabric to add to my stash.
Now what if I add a bit of white fabric paint to that dark yellow...? Or wait - I have that white Paintstick...
- must dash !

How strange!!! A little extra fabric is good :-)

oh my goodness you are very brave! I love how adventurous you are with your sewing - and it is totally odd that it went pink!
