I too have "over done" the fix it process.
I once spilt coffee on the blouse top of my favorite outfit. Someone told me to put dish soap on it.
The bleach took out the stain, but then I had a white spot. So, I thought I'd bleach the whole thing and have a white top.
Unfortunately, the top was stitched with polyester thread. I had a white top with all the peach thread showing.
I decided to get some fabric dye and make it peach again.
The dye turned the top orange.
I put it back in the washing machine with less bleach and kept doing this until I got the color I wanted.

I guess sometimes the fix doesn't quite work as one planned.

Or, how about the time I ran out of black fabric. Went to the store and bought some. I did not know that there were so many shades of "black!!!" Live and learn.

My friend's dog tore a hole in a quilt I had made her. So, I embroidered a dog with my machine to cover the hole. It was the perfit solution. I'm all for making patches, not fixes.
