I appreciate the nice comments about the save. I'm getting ideas now and I may experiment. I'm not sure sweetened sodas would work, but maybe sugar-free cherry flavored sodas would be okay. It really turned the fabric a lovely soft shade of pink. That might work for the Miribilia fairies I have for my granddaughters' initials. This was also my first experience using tea.
What really amazed me was that the over-dyes didn't fade. The blue in the lettering is "Blackberry Jam" and it's really dark.
I feel the "chemistry".......
P.S.: YoYo: maybe dilute the spaghetti sauce???? Oh, Lord: I'm getting carried away!!!!

Oh that's funny, but I don't think I want to waste the terrific spaghetti sauce! I do have two jars of "beet juice" I've been saving in the fridge, I need a piece of pinkish fabric and we eat a lot of beets I think I need one more jar before I have enough to try it but I'll keep you posted.
