Ugh...I thought I was being so careful.
Well instead of throwing it out.
I did this:
Doodle...doodle...away with bleach soaked cotton swabs.
Then wash with cold water and launder like normal.
And now:
Kind of pretty. Mistake to messy marvelous. :)
I am sure a bleach pen would be easier to use but I didn't have one and this worked fine.
Happy Monday!

cute idea, and really smart too!
that is genius! i have so many clothes that get ruined from bleach! YEAH!
Very cute! I actually saw something similar to this a couple of days ago where someone put down a stencil and sprayed a light mist of bleach over a shirt so that it put the design on the shirt. I never would have even thought to do something like this...now I can't wait to try it!
Love the design.

i la-la-LOVE your design! i have a shirt that most definitely got attacked by some oxi-clean ... didn't know that it worked like bleach on some clothes (yikes!). this could be the solution to the problem. thanks for the post! (and p.s. i love your blog :)
this is lovely
way cool! the shirt is cuter now than before the bleach mishap :)
Fabulous! I love this! Great thinking!
Sweet! I use to bleach paint/ tye-dye shirts all the time to make and accidental white-out look like I meant it to be! love it!
Brilliant!! Perfect timing....I just thought I had ruined a favorite shirt today while bleaching my whites....now I get to have some fun! :) Thanks for all your inspiring posts!
How clever! Now I kinda want to start washing with bleach again ;)
omg! what will you think of next?! you amaze me delia!
:)smiles,

wow that looks awesome!! I would have never known that it wasn't made like that
Now THAT is taking lemons and making lemonade! What a gorgeous design. It looks even better than the original!! :)
I have a sweater I've held onto for two years with a bleach stain that I haven't been able to part with that I am so excited to try this with!
That looks great and I never thought of doing that. Sure beats tossing out the shirt.
How cute is that! I have to remember that next time I mess up a shirt from bleach.
My friend told me of your blog, and I now "stalk" it frequently. It's great! You are! Very inspiring. Anyway- this bleach-doodling idea is ingenious! Think of all the ruined shirts one could save! :) Very cool. Good job. And keep up the good work! :)
it came out great. i have seen it done like that in a book with a cotton swab. looks cool and i think is quicker than the bleach pens.
good luck this week.
Oh wow! I now know what to do with a souvenir shirt I loved but got a bleach spot on it.
PS I found this post via http://www.bedifferentactnormal.com/
which i frequent. There was a post about your post. :-D
super cute and thank you for posting this! I have done that, in fact, to one of my favorite hoodies so now I can do this :-)
Found you through Be different...Act Normal. Love your blog! Such wonderful ideas! Thanks so much!
Visiting from Be Different...Act Normal. I about jumped out of my chair when I saw this! I have a shirt that I was so mad that I dripped bleach on. Now I know exactly what I'm going to do to make it wearable again! Thanks for the inspiration! -Kelsee
I absolutely love this idea! I may have to "accidentally," bleach a shirt to try this!
I love this! Just LOVE this. Great idea :)
Also too, the bleaching pens are fab for designing!
Excelente idea!!
Gracias por compartirla...
Brilliant!!!!!!!!
This is way toooo perfect!
Thank you for this great idea. I have ah few things lined up already to doodle on! LOL!
That is AWESOME! Thanks for sharing this creative way to turn a would-be ruined shirt into an amazing work of art! :)
