So glad you didn't burn it, @neumannsalva !

I think the dress turned out great and it's awesome to give garments a second lease of life by dyeing them.
So will you be dyeing that new fabric ?

Burning was reallllllly tempting š¤Ŗ We are trying to redecorate one room to construct a kind of studio for me and this is no fun. We have so much book still from university and all the jobs - no idea where to put them. So burning something seemed like a good solution :-DDDD
But joke aside, I am unsure if I will try dyeing the brown fabric. I will at first finish sewin the coat/dress and then ponder a ne color (I fear only black or dark brown are possible).
Yep, I sympathise about the number of books, @neumannsalva : bits of paper / old magazines / let alone yarn and bits of fabric all too good to throw away or may be needed later type of feeling.
I was wondering whether a sort of plum / dark rust colour dye could work and be a change from black or navy (both are good colours though as they'd go with nearly anything).
Plum or dark red is a perfect idea... but the fabric has really dark brown parts. Hmmmm. The dye come in a package, so that I cannot try it on a small snippet of fabric, its all or nothing. Have to think about it (and sew it :-DDD)
