Coming Soon: Handloom Fairtrade Certified Organic Cotton Fabric

I'm very excited to add handloom fairtrade certified organic cotton fabric to the shop. This fabric is hand-woven in South India on traditional handlooms. The weavers use traditional looms and techniques that have been passed down through their families for generations.  They are organized in Self Help Groups which operate democratically and share their profits amongst their members like small co-operatives. The organic cotton is grown from non-GM seed in the northern part of India and is certified by both Control Union and the Fairtrade Foundation.

There is a three month lead time for the fabric to be woven after the order is placed, so I hope to see the fabric in the shop by October.  Please see below for colors. This handloom fabric is shirting weight.

Coming Soon: Colorful Westfalenstoffe Organic Cotton Fabric

Coming (sort of) soon, new colorful stripes and polka dot organic cotton fabrics from Westfalenstoffe. I say "sort of", because these fabrics make their way here from Germany and last year were held in customs for over 6 weeks. Let's hope for a faster transit time this time! I'm hoping to see them here in the shop by the end of August.

Another vacation? Yes. Another sale? Yes!

Yes, you read that right. That pesky shipping department is headed out for another vacation. It is summer here in the US and there are grandparents to visit, so it's over the hills and through the woods we go! Once again, the shop will remain open and, once again, there are savings for you. Another 20% discount should ease the inconvenience a wee bit, I hope. Starting today through Sunday, August 8, save 20% on your entire order by using the code Another20 at checkout. If your order is in by midnight, US Central Time on Sunday August 1, it will ship by Monday, August 2. All orders received August 2 - August 8 will ship on Monday or Tuesday, August 9 or 10.
