Eco Dye. Camelia

On one of my jaunts to the post office i spotted some windfall camelia flowers. So what's a girl to do?
See what the potential is.







A lovely pinky colour with a nice perfume :).
will add to my shabby stash.
And since the liquid is still quite strong, Ive started another batch with lacey bits and scraps.


The first batch was left for just on a week, as I kept forgetting about it.Will I forget again?
Probably.lol

Happy Stitching

I love the idea of dying with flowers. Do you do anything to "set" the dye, or have you found that it works just as is?
