I might as well throw some dye into the mix too.

That's exactly what I would do. And if you have plenty of fabric and want a serious bonnet with plenty of body, run the fabric through the hot/cold cycle a couple or three times, followed by a tour of duty in the dryer. I imagine you'll be quite happy with the results.
