a good family sized tea bag is more than enough for a yard of fabric. When you get your color the way you want it, do a rinse in vinegar water to help set color.
BTW, you can use the tea bag method on any cotton, regardless of the color or pattern. It will change colors to more subdues shades, but it works for all.
