Is there such a thing as too much tea? Oh! I actually just got some more yesterday.. raspberry, for when peppermint or green tea just won't do.

no i dont think its possible to have to much tea... my parents took me to a chinese resturant today when they visited and we got tea with these really cute little cups with no handles...i pretty much drank all of it..it was really good...

raspberry sounds delightful! lately ive been drinking a british blend...well thats what its called anyway...its really just black tea

The restaurant cups are such fun, I always order tea with my sushi, and they never have handles. I remember reading somewhere that the reasoning is that if the cup is too hot to hold, the tea is too hot to drink. Raspberry tea is quite wonderful, but I'm really not picky with my tea as long as it's not strawberry. Ooh! I wonder how part of the bloomer outfit would look tea-stained... hmmmmm.

need you even ask! it would look fabulous tea stained!!!

Ah, but which part? The corset or the shirt? The edges of the sleeves will be all torn and ripped, and thus potentially would look marvelous tea-stained..

i agree with the sleeves...hmmm

maybe the corset kinda like this one that Emilie has

That was kind of what I was thinking with the corset, yeah! I'll have to look into different techniques, and whether it would be best to stain after it was sewn or before I constructed it.

hmm.. maybe you could go about it both ways... like dye the fabric before you cut it out... then when its done go over the edges to make it darker.... ive never tea stained fabric before... just paper... i agree with looking into different tenchiques

That's a basic tea staining technique, I also came across ideas to use a sponge, and dab with the teabag itself. I love when projects move forward this smoothly.

agreed!
