I think I’ve made a lot of mistakes in my life. And the most recent one was when I practically ruined my husband’s hoodie. So initially he gave it to me just to be washed and clean. and accidentally I added too much powder into washing machine and the print that was on the hoodie was ruined and I told about this to my husband and he said, don’t worry nothing bad really happened I can survive it, like nothing, it’s not that bad And afterwards I decided to clean this area from the print. And it looked nice, but still you could see a very distinct difference in color between the main textile of T-Shirt and this textile underneath the print. So I decided to dye it into different colors and it was my first experiment in dyeing. It was my first touch in it and it just went very bad. the dyeing colours were everywhere, even on my forehead, on our ceiling. And we needed to clean the whole room after my experiment. And I forgot about the hoodie and it was sinking in bathrooms for too long so the colors were too bright and it was like, now it looks like a complete mess and like a kid just threw up on it to be honest and I need to buy a new hoodie for him.

I think I've made a lot of mistakes in my life. The most recent one was when I practically ruined my husband's hoodie. Initially, he gave it to me just to be washed and cleaned. I accidentally added too much powder to the washing machine, and the print on the hoodie was ruined. I told my husband about this, and he said, "Don't worry, nothing bad really happened. I can survive it; it's not that bad." Afterwards, I decided to clean the area from the print. It looked nice, but you could still see a very distinct difference in color between the main fabric of the hoodie and the fabric underneath the print. So, I decided to dye it a different color. It was my first experiment with dyeing, and it just went very badly. The dye was everywhere, even on my forehead and on our ceiling. We needed to clean the whole room after my experiment. I forgot about the hoodie, and it was soaking in the bathroom for too long, so the colors became too bright. Now it looks like a complete mess, like a kid just threw up on it, to be honest. I need to buy a new hoodie for him.
