Questions

Restoring Faded Aloha ShirtsI live in Hawaii and have 350 very beautiful aloha shirts. A small amount of these were used. In this part of the world, the sun is very, very strong. Some of these shirts were put in the sun to dry, something I would never do. The outside is faded, but the inside of the shirts is like brand new, full of colors.

Repairing a Stained Denim Jacket - stain on pink jacket

Repairing a Stained Denim JacketI have a dusty rose denim jacket that has light stains on it. They look to be like bleach and Oxiclean, some of them are light blue, and grease. Can I use a Rit color remover and then use a Rit color dye to re-dye the coat?

Stretching Vinyl SneakersHow do I stretch vinyl sneakers? I am hoping for a home remedy.

Repairing Heat Damage to Velvet FabricI had on a brand new velvet top and held up a lit birthday cake too close to my top. The fabric did not get a hole burned in it, it just changed colors and you can see a round spot where it is lightly singed. How can I restore the original color/fabric?

Dyeing Polyester/Rayon Fabric a Lighter ColorI have a black vest that I want to dye a dark blue. I know that I'll have to bleach it (or do something to get rid of the color) first. The vest is 69% polyester, 29% rayon, and 2% spandex. (The lining is 100% polyester.) Would bleach ruin this fabric?

Repairing Dearfoam Slipper SolesI have a favorite pair of fuzzy Dearfoam slippers given to me several years ago that are made with a cloth sole. I have worn through the soles, but haven't figured out what to use to adhere to these cloth soles to allow for more wear. Surely there's some material that I can attach (glue?) as a sole. Any ideas?
