I have experimented with dying fabric (I have not done a finished garment) and all I do is fill my stainless sink with a bottle of acrylic paint(I have used all different brands from Walmart & Hobby Lobby with no problem) and enough warm water to dilute it and cover your fabric. Maybe a 2 quart pitcher full at the most. I soak the fabric, then ring it out gently and make sure all areas are covered then lay on some old towels to air dry a little. After the excess drips on to the towels I throw towels and fabric in the dryer. Keep your paint solution and dip at least one more time, maybe more if it not dark enough. BEWARE: your dryer will be coated in paint on the inside. I just wipe it done with a scrubby sponge aand towel. It is a lot of work. I have started doing all my dying for several pieces all at once...That is why designers charge more for dying.LOL.
