Sometimes when I have had an item for a bit too long on my stall I get some fading due to being out in the sun which is an occupational hazard I guess. The most annoying items are the baby bodies that are white which seem to fade to yellow. Particularly annoying when they have faded in parts and not others. Previously I have cut them up and re sewn them smaller items or made them into patches for other items but all this is labour intensive and annoying. Today I have tried soaking in hot water with Oxy -action powder and white vinegar and than after about 4 hours I have rinsed them out and put them outside to dry naturally, but I won't know until they are dry if it's been effective. Any bright ideas as to how I can bring them back?
