I'm going to start a series from this book, Color Me Beautiful. I did this in university to make money ('82-'86).

Bit off topic, but keep your clothes rather than ditching them with stains. Mix 1 tsp Dawn, 1 tbsp hydrogen peroxide and 3 tbsp baking soda -rub or brush into stain, leave for a bit and rinse off. Then wash. Great stuff! Send pics of successes! (Forgot to take pics...)
