Going to be a Huge file. Sorry about that!! >_<;
A tutorial about how to gradient dye and the process I used when I dyed my Terra Branford cape from Dissidia: Final Fantasy.
Download for a better view of the pictures.
Any questions? Ask away~~
Edit: When I say "shake and bake"....don't actually bake the dye and water solution. Shake. That's all you need to do. LOL

One question: I'm going to be cosplaying Terra this year. What pattern did you use for the cloak? Was it just a rectangle, or did you have to cut it in any special way?
Again, thanks so much for posting this up! It's a great and clear tutorial! And your cape turned out so wonderfully 8D.
Hmm...not 100% sure of the pattern, I do believe in the end it was not a rectangle when I finished the cape. As you can see in the tutorial, it's a big rectangle, but I think I cut portions off the top to accommodate the shape and drape of the fabric. (It was kind of a..guess and test to be honest I think.) Sorry that I can't give you any concrete help with the shape >__<;
The only problem was that when were first set it up and were ready to go...It started raining!!
-__-; So we went back inside and watched tv and waited for it to clear up after an hour and a bit..
It was a nice day/afternoon when we did the dyeing. It wasn't too hot...but since you're close to the stove burner the temperature rises a bit...LOL
The CARPET >__<"
Ghetto Fab = the way to go in a batcave.
Love the outcome!
