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.
