My final project fabric bled all over my white silk lining at 2 AM
I was in my dorm room hand-stitching this asymmetrical skirt, and the dark green dye from the outer layer just started running when I sprayed it to set a seam. Now the whole lining is this gross minty color. What's the best way to salvage a piece when the fabric wasn't colorfast?

Wait, you were spraying it at 2 AM? That's some serious dedication right there. What a nightmare to see that color run.

Been there lol. Had a can of matte black spray paint run on a bike frame once. Took a tiny brush and some rubbing alcohol to clean up the edges. Let it dry fully, then hit it with a super light dusting coat from farther away. The key is not to panic and add more paint right away.
