Can anyone tell me if you can dye sheer curtains another colour. They are white and I would like to dye them a cream colour.

Do a search for "dharma fabric dye" it is a great site for all kinds of dyes and info. They have a impressive catalog too. I have not ordered from them but my daughter-in-law has and loves the products.

I was wondering if anyone could help me in finding out how to dye a pair of my curtains. I bought to sets for each window and realized one set is a cream color (egg shell white). I want to dye the Cream color to a bright white! Can anyone let me know how to do this please! Thanks
60%Polyester
40% COtton

If you have shear curtains and want them a bit darker but don't want to buy more, pick out coordinating material and sew the material onto the back of the curtain. Just measure the curtain to figure out how many yards you need (look for discount material, my local Wal-Mart has material for $1 a yard), Wash and iron material and fold under edges and sew. It's simple, easy, and cheap to fix up curtains and make them darker.

I've already tried to dye sheers. They didn't take the rit dye. I guess because of the polyester.

I don't even know what I am suppose to put in here, but this is a question I also wanted to know.

I would try a tea stain. Make a strong tea and put them in it. You may want to try just a small peice first, to get an idea how long it will take (usually doesn't take much, especially if you want it real subtle). I would suggest using a roaster or a large container that you can lay them out as much as possibe, and stir them around to get an even color.

Can anyone help me with my curtains. It seems when I hand them the edge rolls out. I dont know if they are stretched or what . I tried to tack it at the bottom but it didn't help. thanks.

Sandy,
It all depends on what kind of fabric the curtains are made out of. If they are more than 50% polyester than chances are they won't except most dyes. Check out ritdye.com for a list of what kind of fabrics can and can't be dyed.
