Using a knife or razor blade, carefully scrape away any excess varnish that is still wet to prevent it from setting in and sticking to the fabric.
With an absorbent cloth, gently dab the stained area to absorb any remaining liquid varnish. Be sure not to rub or scrub fabric in order to avoid damaging or stretching the fibers.
Mix equal parts white vinegar and water in a bowl or container, stirring well until the solution is evenly blended.
Using a clean cloth, submerge the stained area into the solution and let sit for 10-15 minutes. The vinegar will help to loosen and break up the varnish while the water will help to dilute and remove any residue.
Rinse the stained area with cool water to remove any remaining solution. Gently pat dry with a soft cloth.
Once the stain has been removed, launder the fabric as usual. This will help to ensure that all of the residue is completely removed.
