Hi
Today I have been working as hard as I can to make as many flag banners as possible. Also for the first time I had a go at tea dying some fabric. I bought some men's check/plaid shirts from a charity(Thrift) shop yesterday for a few pounds. Once I undid the seams I had some really useful pieces of cotton fabric. One was white with blue stripes and one white with brown stripes. I always find white too bright and I am hoping to use them in a reproduction quilt so I soaked them in a bowl of tea and coffee with hot water. Then When dry I ironed them to fix the colour and washed on a cold wash to get the tea smell out. This may not be the right way to do it but I am really pleased with the results. I forgot to take a before photo but I shall post the after shots as soon as I can get on the other computer!
Blessings,
Carol
