So I bought that orange dye, put it through the other half of the beige flannel and came up with a better colour, for me at least*. I'm less happy with the dye job, I got less colour strength and there are a few pink patches. This was i-dye. I'm not terribly impressed. I looked up Gold Cross(used for the plum)- which seems to be still a current product but one can only get it from pharmacies- no indication of which pharmacies- I've tried two near work, neither has it. So if anyone sees Gold Cross dye for sale, let me know eh?
I'm thinking these scrappy bits of olive green wool might make sleeves and stomacher. I can then wear my existing green peasanty underskirt
However, the new fabric is very little different from Flem frock mark I. The colour is almost the same, just a bit darker. The fabric is nicer (denser) but isn't much heavier. Sigh. I wonder if I'll be sufficiently happy with the end product? It'd be another narkoo frock which is vaguely amusing. Ah well, I'll set this all aside for a bit. I want/need to put a thing or two together for the work conference in a few weeks.
*That red wool is so good on me that it is a reasonable test of whether a colour is "mine" or not. If it works with this red then it is likely to be good. If it clashes, then not so much. All rather fun given the red jacket is made from an old roman tunic of Blethan's.
