My husband came home from work yesterday with a great idea. First, he suggested that I take the beautiful yellow linen that I dyed using the Onion dye bath and make an under-petticoat with it. Secondly, stew up another walnut dye bath for a couple yards of linen and make a dark brown petticoat.
then I can wear them as props to show what natural dyes can do. First, the dark brown petticoat that they all can see and then I can lift that and show them the surprise bright yellow under-petticoat. Great idea.
I think that I will do up a batch of walnut dye this weekend just so I can dye the linen for the petticoat.
So, for Yorktown, I need to make 2 petticoats and a shift. I better get hot!
