[Ansteorra] To dye or not to dye

[Donnchadh Beag mac Griogair]

I agree, it's better to dye the fabric.  That way you can have a 
multi-color garment, and your left-overs will already be dyed the same 
color for patching or for accessories.

One trick if you're going to dye the fabric is to either serge the edges 
or sew the ends together to make a big loop.  It will keep the fabric 
from fraying and make it easier to work with.
