Hi all-
Thought I would share a photo here as i have finally got this done (more or less). I found I ran into the same problem with dye as I think some other forum members have had- trying to get the red to go purple really doesn't work very well at all! I tried blue, pink and purple dyes and got variable results with all three- I think if color changes are needed I'll need to start with white fabric and do all the dye work from scratch, rather than trying to use red as a base.
I'm happy with the end result despite that, and am waiting for a batch of photos to submit for approval.
Photo below (a bit disheveled as I had been running around C2E2 for several hours prior to this).
