Sippy cup for you, my dear!!

Liddle story about Me:
1 week ago lunch time in a faraway city: New white shirt + yummy pastrami sandwich = mustard stains!!
5 p.m. arrival at home: Grandma's Spot Remover dabbed on the spots + Shout Advanced for set-in stains + cool water wash =No More Stains!

I've coffee-dyed fabric before myself, and actually on purpose LOL! The label was far too light for the backing on a quilt and stood out like a beacon. So I used coffee as its less destructive to fabric over time than tea-dying, so I've heard. It works on some fabrics better than others, and the fabric should be washed to remove the sizing first. Depending on how long you leave it in, you'll get some sepia-toned or all the way to brown. Many of the Thimbleberries fabrics look like they have been dunked, don't you think?
