How can I dye navy blue embroidery (on a shirt) to a light blue color?
I have a shirt that has embroidery on it, sent from family in korea. I bought some shoes with to match the colors from a picture they sent me. When it got here i noticed the embroidery on the shirt was navy blue instead of light blue. How can i dye navy blue to light blue? I just want the embroidery dyed. the rest of the shirt is heather gray. Thanks.
Exchange the shoes for navy. Or, a shoe repair shop can dye the light blue shoes for you if you cannot find the style you want in navy.
As for the shirt - you cannot dye thread and not the fabric. And you cannot dye a dark color lighter.
Paint may make the embroidery stiff and if you get any on the shirt, it will not come out.
As is - if the shirt is washable, be sure to use Dye/Color Catcher in the wash as the thread dye may run or transfer.
You can find this where laundry products are found - http://www.drugstore.com/products/prod.asp?pid=73784&catid=33271&fromsrch=shout+color+catcher
