But Easter Weekend services start Friday night...with April colors.
And I have ONE thing in my wardrobe that is close to the right color...kind of a dark mint green to my eye.
I did peruse my usual suppliers but didn't find anything that really looked right.
Then I got a wild notion and did a search for Rit Dye Color charts...and found
Rit Dye formula for Arcadia Green:
1 Bottle Aquamarine
1⁄4 Cup Teal
1 Tablespoon Lemon Yellow
3 Gallons water
So.
Now, I have several pieces of white fabric that I have ordered online through the years. Some are...thinner...than I had anticipated, so they will be undies, someday.
Others were kinda off on the color. Too gray, too yellow...
Anyway, I pulled the 'too yellow' piece; I have about 2 1/2 yards or so.
It's gonna go in the dye bath tomorrow.
Great idea. I've dyed lots of fabric teal in particular but also other colours and it can be a great way to rescue some off colours.
ReplyDeleteAnd if it works you can use some of those thinner fabrics and sew them double layered.
ReplyDeleteI have thought of that.... one of the fabrics is thin enough it might work.
