How do you dye bed sheets solid colors?

I'm in a time crunch!!! I need to dye a set of bed sheets solid purple TONIGHT! They have to be perfectly dry by tomorrow morning. But I have no idea how to do it! Please help!!! : )How do you dye bed sheets solid colors?
If you MUST get it done by tonight, I assume whatever due you have is suitable, just do it in the washing machine. My cousin used to dye small rugs this way.. You should be fine. This is what I read on a website though:








';The best way to dye white cotton to another solid color is by using Procion MX dye in the washing machine. Purchase this type of dye by mail-order from any of the dye suppliers listed on my ';Sources for Supplies'; page. (Here is a direct link to Procion MX dye at Fiber-Arts.com.) Follow the instructions for dyeing in the washing machine.





Do not use all-purpose dye on your sheets. All-purpose dye is more difficult to use and will bleed a little every time it is washed.';











Hope this helped!How do you dye bed sheets solid colors?
II saw ';Rose's'; answer and that's what I was going to say. Just to add one point. If the bed sheets you have are brand new and never washed before, you should wash them first because new material is often treated with finishes that are intended to repel stains etc.





If they're brand new, just wash them in a short cycle with a little detergent. When you put them in the dryer do not use a fabric softener sheet. Your fabric will be ready for dyeing as per Rose's answer.





If the sheets are not new, you can just go ahead and dye them.


Have fun!





P.S. You can find RIT dyes at Walmart too.
Rit dye. It's available at most craft stores and walmart. You open up a package or two (depending on the size of what you are dying and how dark you want it) and throw it in the washing machine with your sheets. You don't add any soap, so the dye powder and the water mix together and get sloshed around in the washing machine to create a nice even dye.





Check the box for washing and drying instructions after that, but I've used this before and it's worked really well. After you've completed the whole process, you can re-dye using the same method if you want a darker or brighter version of the color.





Good luck!
