I wonder if (and I have NO experience with this) you were to let it dry and iron it before you rinsed the colour out. Perhaps the heat from the iron would help set the colour?

I think it was in 2009 that the grocery stores here had to charge you 5 cents per plastic bag if you wanted one to encourage people to use cloth bags. I don't think they do anymore which is a pity. I'm so used to using my own bags now that I'd never go back to plastic :) <br />Mary Ann Tatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06064111648107079739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5652096409954439984.post-90531677807311100102019-08-25T12:38:56.227+01:002019-08-25T12:38:56.227+01:00So fantastic!!!!
