I Want to make fabric dyes from natural ingredients, I need to know how to "fix" them.

Hi!
I had lots of fun with plant dyes when I was young...
Here are a few good sites :
about dyes and fixatives:
http://www.pioneerthinking.com/naturaldyes.html
http://www.albertagirlguides.com/Ideas_Craft_Dyes.htm
Explaining about mordants:
http://www.quintillion.com/sheepbreeders2/reader/2000/aug_3.html
A little history and fun about dyes:
http://www.rsc-ne-scotland.ac.uk/ie/Colour_an_Introduction/Colour%20an%20Introduction-191.htm
It may not always turn out the way you thought it would but it's always fun to dye fabrics with natural dyes.
Have fun! But be safe, some of these products are strong (like the mordants) even if not truly toxic, so make sure you know what you are doing.
