In the hunt for the Groom and Groomsmen attire for the wedding I am having problems finding an ivory colored linen shirt for Brian. It appears that linen shirts do not come in off-white or ivory. They are all bright white.
So...I am testing out some tea dying with white cotton fabric from my quilting stash.
My concoction is 18 cups of water and three lipton tea bags. I don't want the shirt too dark, just a touch of the ivory color. The ivory color will match my dress better than bright white.
The picture doesn't show much difference but when compared to my dress it matches perfectly. Swatch on the right is the dyed one.
