DO NOT PANIC!

Since you have not topcoated the stained piece, all you need to do is
use lot of rags or heavy paper towels like Scott Shop Rags soaked with the
solvent you made your dye mixture in. Keep wiping the stained parts with
fresh soaked rags and you will get almost all the color out. At a
minimum,
you will even out the color and the lap marks will not be noticeable. If
you used liquid dyes from the start and did not dilute them, water should
work just fine but you may need to follow up with alcohol.
Do not use bleaches or sand. They are unnecessary and may create more
problems than necessary.

You will be left with a piece that has a very light stain on it. You
can now restain but your starting point is the evenly colored wood that
you
have. It is just like refinishing a piece. You strip everything off and
are left with something clean but not exactly like it was if it were never
stained.

In the future, try applying the stain with rags or spray on an even
coat. Just work quickly.

Good Luck
