Emergency color thread fix.....

‎03-10-2014 12:01 AM

While on vacation I needed to make an emergency repair on a jersey tank dress. My sewing box at the condo only had white and black thread. Raided DH's office and the orange highlighter and orange Smoothie marker were abducted. I ran both over the white thread and got a match on the marker color. Ran it over the white thread and presto! Orange thread to finish the job!!!! Makes buying the full pack of colored markers a no brainer!

the chemicals in the marker may discolor or damage the thread, tho
