This isn't about making clothes but I'm betting there's people ITT who are in the know about dying corduroy. A web search got me an awful lot of "articles" that I'm about 100% certain were created by so-called AI so I'm not tempted to trust them. I have an old white corduroy overcoat and I'd like it to not be white. I figure it's mostly cotton - apart from the sleeve lining which is some sort of synthetic poo poo (I've washed it as if it were cotton and it's fine, apart from the labels that are too faded to make out anymore). Any hints, tips, cautions? I've never intentionally dyed anything, but I do have a lot of pink T-shirts that didn't used to be pink. If I ruin it it's no big deal. Doesn't have sentimental value but it is warm. Also since it's already Spring it doesn't have to be a quick process - I've got until next Autumn.

HelloIAmYourHeart posted:I really like Jacquard dyes. They make packets called iDye that are really easy to use. If it's a synthetic blend, iDye Poly is the dye you'll need to use. Even if the fabric itself is cotton, the thread is probably synthetic. My old towels are nice  (But thanks. Hadn't thought about the thread. I guess light stiching wouldn't look too bad.)
