I have a question, I’m not sure if this is the right place to ask, but, I’ll give it a shot. Okay, so I bought some Corduroy fabric that was dark blue, 100% cotton. My local fabric stores were limited on there supplies, and I needed the material to only be a few shades lighter. So, I tried dye remover, since it had worked in the past. I used a test piece but to my surprise, the material turned into a orange with in a few seconds. I tried to think to myself, what could of possibly gone wrong?

In nervousness of the thought of wasting money I just spent, I took my pre-cut material to soak in some hot water to take the excess original dye off. It lightened up a little bit. To give it that blue hue I wanted, i then dyed the fabric in teal-blue, then hung it to dry. It did in fact lighten it up a bit. but I still need it a bit lighter. I think maybe if I hung it out in the sun for a day or two the fabric might get a little lightened up? Any suggestions? I would really appreciate it. Thank you for your time. =)”
