Technically speaking, no. Some fabrics and colors can be changed or lightened using a good dose of chlorine bleach. Caveat: Start with a cup of chlorine bleach. Keep in mind that bleach will deteriorate fabric and if you use too much, you may end up with a shredding rag. Dharma also sells a color discharge for removing dye from fabric. If you are willing to be unattached to the outcome, you can try these methods.

Is a fine continuous strand unwound from the cocoon of a moth caterpillar known as the silk worm. Silk is composed of protein. Lustrous, smooth, light weight, strong, and elastic. Used for apparel home furnishings, and upholstery.

Polyester fibers are thermo plastic, they have good strength and are hydrophobic, do not absorb water well. Used for a wide variety of apparel, home furnishings and industrial fabrics.

Polyester is created in highly controlled factory settings, using toxic chemicals at high temperatures. In addition, the dye is added when the fabric is in a liquid state. Using Rit or reactive dyes would be like trying to dye a plastic bag. The dye just doesn't stick. Similarly, acetate cannot be dyed.

Edge stitching is the Stitching placed 1⁄16 inch from the edge; may be stitching detail, such as topstitching or stitching done to finish the outer edge of a seam or facing edge.

A plain seam with a row of machine stitching on one or both sides of the seam line is known as the top stitched seam.

Acid dyes are also used for dyeing wool - again, they require very hot water, so your fabric must be able to withstand any resulting shrinkage, matting, or felting. For this reason, I do not recommend dyeing already-constructed wool garments, such as coats, sweaters, or dresses, unless they are really large, and/or you are completely willing to experiment with the results.

Swelling may be expressed in terms of the increase of diameter, area, length or volume of a fibre due to absorbing water.

A term used in pattern directions that usually means to stitch together the pieces re ferred to using normal seam allowances and regular stitches.

Asymmetrical means the One-sided, not geometrically balanced.

The temperature at which the fiber behaves as a glass and brittle condition is known as glass transition temperature. It is denoted by Tg. The range of Tg for linear polymer is 100°C to 300°C.

The best dye for vivid, color- and light-fast color are the reactive dyes, Some crafts stores carry reactive dyes, also. Get catalogs and instructions from these sources and study the materials carefully.

The meaning of shade is concentration. Usually, the depth of the tone of color is known as shade. It is three types such as light shade, medium shade and deep shade.

Fold line is the line where fabric is folded, usually vertically, when cutting out a garment. It is common for the center front of a garment to be placed on a fold line.

The ratio of the actual vapor pressure to the standard vapor pressure at the same temperature express as a percentage is known as relative humidity.

The process which is used for de-sizing, scouring, bleaching, dyeing, printing and finishing is termed as wet processing.

Textile not falling into the categories of apparel, furnishing, household and industrial, tents and back packs may be referred to as consumer textile.

An atmosphere at the prevailing barometric pressure with a relative humidity of 65% and temperature of 20°C (68°F) is known as standard temperature.
