Notes:

Another EZ Dye project. The natural (untreated) cotton should theoretically not accept the dyes if you don't use a mordant. I piece dyed these, after washing and hemming, with lac, cochineal, red, and yellow onion skins, without a mordant. The onion skins tint the untreated cotton pale yellow, but the pinks rinse out of the untreated white.
