I HAVE A COMFORTER AND CURTIANS THAT HAVE FADED, AND WOULD LIKE TO DYE THEM A LAVENDER OR WISTERIA. IT HAS 70% POLYESTER AND 30% COTTON THE WAS A LAVENDER. I’D APPRECIATE YOUR HELP.

Dear Gizmo,
If you want to try it, and the comforter will easily fit in your washer, you could experiment with re-dyeing or over dyeing these items. Get a catalog from www.dharmatrading.com, read the instructions carefully on the reactive dyes. I have to caution you – polyester will not take the dye, so you will be dyeing only the cotton content of your pieces.
I really would suggest that you go to one of the big box housewares stores and get new bedroom furnishings. It’s much easier to refurbish than to mess around with dyeing something that might not work. Probably time to update the look, too.
