Default Need some advice on bleaching fabric

I saw a cute project where a blogger took fabric and bleached it just enough to make it a paler version of the original, then sewed half-square triangles from the pairs. It turned out really cool.

So my question – any advice on bleaching fabric to lighten it? I read somewhere 1 part bleach to 10 parts water; elsewhere 1 part bleach to 5 parts water. Also, soak for 10-15 seconds? And rinse with vinegar to set?

Does this sound about right to anyone who has bleached fabric before? Thanks!
