"This vibrant yellow color came from Marigold flowers from this very snowy garden. I couldn't have hoped for better results! The amazing colour that I got was begging to be made into a big flowy skirt! Pattern: Cora Linen Dress pattern from Fabric Store."

What a great way to dye. Thanks for sharing. Did you mordant that fabric or add any color fast product?

I put my linen in an alum bath before I dipped it in my dye bath. And I just remembered that I added some beet peels into my marigold pot! That's how I got the extra vibrant colour.

I love that she dyed it using flowers from her garden.

Vibrant indeed! Must plant marigolds. So well used in this graceful shape.
