a little help, please??

I bought a shirt from the thrift shop

but it has sun-bleached streaks on one arm.

I passed it up when I went last week

but the more I thought about it, the more I wanted it

so I went back today to get it.

I asked if they'd let me have it for half-off since I'd have to fix it...

so I got it, and the tank that goes with it for $2

(isn't this the coolest fabric?)

How do I fix it??

Can I just dye it?

I like the color - I'd want something close....

Do I need to remove the color, then dye it?

What do you think?
Help!

I also picked up a few shirts to reconstruct.

I was showing the kids,

"I got this to make a dress for Lily

and these to make tight little pants and maybe shirts, too for Lex'..."

Lily grabbed a sweater and held it up to her chest,

"Is this to make a dress for me?"
"No," I chuckled,

"that's actually just a sweater for me to wear as is."

"Too bad." replied Tony, "Looks like it'd make great leggins"
