Darn dye
So I thought today would be a good day to dye my fabric and pattern up my shoulder pieces. The cotton velveteen started out as a sort of mossy sage green. I hoped it would dye to be at least teal, hopefully aqua. Not the case. AT ALL. It is now a beautiful emerald green... Unfortunately, my costume, as you may recall, is a deep aqua. Not good.
On the plus side, I can stop by the fabric store tomorrow and look for a suitable replacement. I really hope there is one. I still have another package of turquoise dye hanging around if I can find a very light coloured velveteen, preferable ivory. Other pluses are that if I find a replacement, this green colour is really nice and I can use it for something else. Also I've now learned how to dye fabric. And I dyed a couple samples of other things that I will be dyeing in the future and they turned out nicely. Worst case, I don't find fabric and use the green. Oh well.
I'm still going to do the patterning this evening. That should go alright.
