dye-ing clothes

[Carbonel]

Has anyone ever done this?

I am faced with the prsopect of dyeing cotton trousers for ds school as I cannot find any lightweight 100% cotton trousers with elasticated waists (he struggles with buttons).

Any tips gratefully received

no help with the dyeing, but these people have pull-on 100% cotton school trousers (scroll down to C52)

The other place I always look is Clean Slate but they only have zip ones.

I do it often- we pop all our black cotton t-shirts through every few mnths to keep them black (as opposed to grey)

EAily done in the amchine, you will need a coupke of sachets of dye (from woolies) and lots of salt- follow instructins and there you go.
