Hi everyone, Hoping someone can give me advice on how to deal with a bleach spot on the upper front thigh on a nice pair of dressy dark blue jeans. It is about the size of a quarter. I don't want to put a patch or anything over it or add more bleach spots. Would using fabric paint work to disguise it work? Any brand you would recommend? Thanks in advance for any help you can give!

I have used colored sharpie markers for such problems........they come in lots of colors......dark blue among them.........if you have ever tried to remove sharpie marker you know how well it stays!!
Remember that part of the appearance of denim is the blue warp and white weft-- so if you just glob some paint on it, it won't look like the rest of the fabric. My usual method is to take a Pantone or similar marker of the right color and retouch just the blue warp threads. Takes a steady hand and perhaps some magnification and some patience.

Thanks for the ideas. I think I'll try a dark blue Sharpie first. It is such a dark blue denim there isn't much white weft noticable.
