Do I need to follow these recipes exactly?

Absolutely not! This is a loose guide to spur your ingenuity. Botanical pigments are fluid, which can be accepted as either finicky or beautiful. No two dye jobs will ever be the same, so use this to your advantage. Just make sure you are using enough plant matter and that your dye bath is rich enough in pigment.

What should I do if I mess up?

The wonderful thing about plant based dyes, is that there is no perfect dye job. Do not fear messing up your garment as you can always pivot: execute another dip, layer on another color, add some eco-prints. The options are endless, and the flexibility of natural dyes is their superpower. If you are still weary of ruining your favorite garment, start small. Test some swatches, fabric, or a less cherished item first.
