Hi, today i tried parts of this technique on a pair of shorts i cut from old jeans. They were an extremely deep blue colour, almost navy, and i decided to give them a real vintage look for summer. I left the upper 4/5s of the shorts in a tub of weak bleach and left them over night. In the morning, it was a lovely turquoise blending into the deep blue and i will distress them soon to complete the retro vintage look. :)
ReplyDeleteHi. So very glad that you found this technique helpful. You will find that the bleach weakens the material and makes them even easier to distress. If you can, send me a pic of your end results so I can blog about it. Once again, I appreciate you viewing. If you have any request vids. feel free to let me know! Be sure to subscribe !!
