I need to age some fabric for a costume?
I have approximately 15 yards of fabric that I need to darken quite a bit. Most of it is natural, unbleached muslin and the rest is a large, sparse print with the background being a similar color to the unbleached muslin, and I need it to be almost black - think Mrs. Lovitt from Tim Burton's Sweeney Todd. I've heard of tea and coffee aging, but since I've never used any aging method I need some advice. What type of coffee or tea do I need to use to darken the fabric to near black, but still be able to see the pattern of the patterned fabric? How much of said coffee/tea would I need to how much water? And how do I lock the color into the fabric, so it won't run or lighten?
I figure how long I soak the fabric depends on my own judgement, but if I'm wrong correct me.
Tea and coffee will only dye the fabric a dark brown color. If you need it to be almost black I would go to a craft store and buy fabric dye. Just follow the instructions on the bottle. When you're rinsing the dye out, add white vinegar and the color should set. Just to be cautious, I would not wash the fabric with anything else.
