We did shirts. I did them with my kids and with our Girl Scout troop. We used rit dye and I had a bunch of pots set out for them to use. Years ago, I was a textile major and we had to dye cloth using organic items. I wish I had saved my notebook with my cloth samples. I used beets, leaves, and other items that I can’t remember. Some gave a really vivid color to the fabric.

I have a huge bag of cleaned avocado pits and peels in my freezer, waiting to experiment with a dyeing project. I have a piece of cotton and linen blend fabric that I want to use with it, and probably make a peasant top from afterwards. Or maybe sew the top with cotton thread and dye the finished piece. I haven't, but with it being a fad this summer I have become interested. I saw a video on YouTube where this lady used turmeric, avocado skins and red wine. I was very intrigued. The avocados produced a really beautiful color especially when it was exposed to the sun. |

I just saw a video on FB where they used an avocado seed for a pretty blush colored dye. 😊 |
