I like it better than the tea dye method, I think it lasts longer (through washing) and stains darker.

Plus I love the coffee smell!!! :)

I love that fabric, where did you get it?
Thank you, Ellie

Just another hint for u all.....I use to make antique dolls and folk dolls, the older the better. One day I was walking in the woods and found walnut shells and decided to boil them and wow, they are great for dying fabric. Kept tubs of this liquid. So I just boiled up the shells with the nuts in them and what fab dye I got...so if anyone out there has walnut trees, u r lucky.........
