Vinegar and then dip it in boiling water to test it for colorfastness :D:D:D
It's not a strap, it is just a decorative strip that will be sewn down flat (except for the dangly sea shells). It's only 3/8 wide. And if it does bleed ... it's the same colors as the batik that its sew to so even *I* wouldn't notice it.
I'll try the hot dip test ... thanks!!
