Physical, the water is still water and the food coloring is still food coloring you just mixed them together in one space. If you waited long enough the food coloring and water would settle back out so you had just water and food coloring.

a mixture is a physical reaction because, by definition, a mixture is the combination of 2 or more substances and they maintain their chemical properties. For example putting food dye in water is a mixture because although it looks like a color change (clear to colored) it is merely the dye molecules diffusing throughout the water while maintaining their chemical properties.

Is stitching of cloth a physical change?

yes. the difference between a physical change and a chemical change is this: physical change changes its looks but it can be changed back. a chemical change changes its state of form and it can't be changed back. ex: an ice cube melting into water. you can always put the water in the freezer and it comes back as ice. but if metal rusts, there is no way you can change it back. so you can get a perfessional or a special cleaning device to remove the dye plus its still a cloth; therefore, it is a physical change.

Would it be a chemical change if Blueberry juice is squeezed over a white shirt to dye it blue is this a chemical change or physical change?

The shirt is white because something is making it white and that something could have reacted with the blueberry juice. It depends on the juice and the material the shirt is made of. If the Juice can be squeezed out or removed with enough rinsing or washing, it may be just a physical change. Otherwise, the dye in the juice may have chemically bonded with something in the shirt material and may need a chemical substance such as a bleaching agent to neutralize it.
