Dyeing with tea bags!

So i wanted to dye some of the doll face fabric brown to make brown dollies and thought i'd have a go with tea bags.It's been a long time since i've done any dyeing so experimenting was the name of the game.

I put four tea bags in boiling water, let them stew for a bit then put the fabric in for two hours.

The result wasn't dark enough so i re-heated the tea mix and put the fabric back in overnight.

And here's the result.

The fabric on the right is the original colour. 

Not a bad result but i'm going to have a go with coffee next week .

I haven't quite decided if Marcie will have black or brown hair. But i think she's gonna look a little like Diana Ross!
