I need some advice!
I went and ironed Christians favorite top with the big red fire-engine on the front and the red felt melted on the iron and the top leaving red everywhere.
I got it off the iron but how do i get it off the rest of the top?
All advice appreciated.

Oh sweetie! I feel for you!
I have no idea, but shall I sit with you awhile, while we wait for a grown-up with some insight?
I did a similar thing last week with all the throws from the lounge. Just bunged them in the washer ~ madness! One of them was black & dry clean only ~ blocked the machine & there is black dust all over the house now!

I did the baby blankets Lainey and thankfully no problems there.Even washed and ironed all the vests and onesies but this top is a menace.

How frustrating for you Liz
I'm afraid I have no advice - just sympathy!
I am the worlds worst for ironing - hardly ever do it, cos I hate it. I know what I would do...if it is ruined, use it as a rag and find a new best top. Not very cost effective, I know!
Well done for getting it off the iron and not damaging anything else.
Better get back to the himmie comp

Christian would never forgive me if i used it as a rag.
Poor boy has to wear his second favorite top with his new trousers now.

I think you'll have to treat him to a new one Liz.
I always iron things inside out if they've got anything like that on after several accidents and it was always their favourite one I ruined.

This was the very first top he got and i shouldn't have been so careless.Normally i sure would iron it inside out.I had a whole line full of tops that needed ironing.
They all ironed fine.

I think you may need to get him a new one, Liz. Sorry.

But, on the bright side, I'm sure Christian would LOVE a NEW top with a dinosaur on it. Dinosaurs are so much cooler than trains!

I just re-washed it on a higher setting with a stain remover and no improvement.
Shawnah he does love his crocodile so i'm sure he'd love a dinosaur top to match.

Poor sweetie....sounds like he might need a new one Liz....
Post a pic so we can see the damage....we might be able to help if we see what has happend..
You could always get a plain top for him and a sew on fire engine???

I popped it on the rack to dry at the moment Annette,i'll take a pic tomorrow.
I don't have much in my life but my kids and their things are important to me so when stupid things like this happen i get so annoyed about it.
You can bet i wont do this again!

Its easy done sweetie...I have done it myself....
I had a lovely 'Classic Winnie The Pooh' all in one...put it in the machine..forgot..and put a dark item of clothing in..(Charlies dino romper which is navy)......ended up cream with blue sploggies on it ...I was heart broken as it was quite expensive....no stain remover or colour run worked..
I have even had it with a little top with a pumpkin on it(from Asda)...I hand-washed it...the colour from the pumpkin ran into the white of the top...ruined!!!!
Chin up love...if I see one with a little engine on on my journeys..I will get it for you..and your little one.
Love Annette

I'm determined now Christian will have to wear it with his new trousers.
What a day!

OMG, how awful - I feel so sorry for you, but I don't have any other advice than the one Becky did give you already, and that is to buy a new one, and use the ruined one as a rag when Christian is sleeping!!!!

I think, I can't help, Liz, but I feel for you. Once Sophie had a wonderful Minnie Mouse shirt with the soft velevet on it, but it has completely gone after washing a few times only. I will never buy anythng with the felt or velvet sticking on anything. H&M has also the Hello Kitty collection and all the Kitties are printed with this velvet, but I stay away also Sophie would love to have an other shirt with Kitty.
