Dyeing crib sheets

TTCgradstud

I'm having a really hard time finding brightly colored crib sheets, is there any reason (baby safety) that I couldn't get a plain white sheet or two and dye them myself? 

I've lurked here a lot, and I think that someone out there will know if this is an issue, or can suggest a baby-dafe dye to use. 

Thanks!

I was wondering the SAME thing!

kool aid perhaps

That would come out or fade with each wash.

You could just get a pattern and sew sheets from a fabric you like.

I'm thinking that sewing would be your easiest route for

safe but bright colors.  Koolaid would probably wash out,

but most available fabric dyes do have stupid high

chemical content; I had a friend who worked in a costume

shop for a nationally known opera whose hands were 

wrecked even through gloves after her first week as a 

dyer.  You obviously wouldn't be doing that much, but

I'm thinking that exposing fresh baby skin to those

sorts of chemicals wouldn't be the safest way to go.

GL!
