Best way to dye

[kwitcherkicken99]

I have NEVER in my life attempted to dye fabric.

For this year's MNSSHP I need to dye a pair of 100% cotton (very light) khaki pants to Ferb Fletcher purple.

I plan to use Rit - but what can I do to really make it take?

Also, I do need to hem them, should I do that before or after?

I figure DH will only wear these one time, so if there happens to be a little bleed, it will be okay - I half expect it.

Any tips??

TIA!

I always bottle out of using dye but I believe the stuff you get to put in washing machines is very good. I am too scared the colour will get stuck in there & make everythhing in every wash that follows a strange colour.

Good luck
