wrong color fabric
I recently bought some fabric online and when it arrived its a lot darker than I anticipated or remembered seeing on the website. Is there a way for me to lighten it without ruining the fabric. Its a sage color but its almost brownish/with a hint of green. Going to stitch the Legend of the Dogwood Tree on it.

Re: wrong color fabric
Can you alter the silk colours instead
Re: wrong color fabric
I'm going to pull the colors out and see how they look with the fabric.

Re: wrong color fabric
Doing a floss toss is the best first option.You could try a quick rinse in bleach(diluted) to remove some of the colour but it's a big risk.I've done it with fabric that I have dyed myself.But I don't know what lasting effect it has on the fabric.
