Dyeing with vegetables: help, please!

[Suzanne]

I left a linen blouse in the fridge too long (awaiting ironing), and it came down with measles. That is, my lovely ecru blouse has little beet-colored spots on it. The spots didn't wash out.

So I figure I might as well dye the blouse so that I can keep wearing it. Anyone have experience dyeing with beets? Care to give me some pointers?

Thanks!

i woud suggest going to a craft store, and purchasing a clothing dye in the same color (or close) as the stain.i used to work in a drycleaners, i can honestly tell you that dying fabric with an organic substance isnt good for your garments, because of the acid content.

Throw it back in the fridge and let er rip!
I can tell you, I cooked Indian the other night and the curry color is intense!!!! hands, tiles, sink, wooden spoon etc.
