I want to thank all of you for your suggestions. The pink is lighter but not gone. We've tried Fels Naptha, white vinegar, oxy clean, clorox 2, alcohol, you name it, we've tried it... except the Synthrapol, I'm going to look for it today.
Unfortunately, we'll be making another jacket :(
But making this one should be easier since she's already done it once.
Off to Jo-Ann's either this afternoon or tomorrow. We're lining this one in WHITE!
Sorry that the red/pink didn't come out.
You could also use a light gray for the lining - might not look grubby as quickly as white. And if it wasn't color fast, it wouldn't be a disaster.
Maybe she can use this one for chores and gardening (if those are activities that she does) and not worry about it getting dirty.
Was there any more shrinkage with all that you did to it?
