Modern Organic Fabrics is going out of business. I really love running the shop and all my wonderful customers, but sometimes things don't go as planned. Why am I closing the shop? Certainly NOT because there is no demand for organic cotton fabric. Quite the contrary, really. I think the popularity of organic fabric has led to many online shops carrying it. Meaning increased competition. I also think that it can be difficult for a very small shop to keep going. Modern Organic Fabrics really needed to take the leap and become bigger. Only I don't have the capital for that. So after a very slow November I realized that without the money for a bigger shop with more products I would need to close the shop. I was very sad about it and didn't make the decision easily. As I type this and tell you all about it, time has passed and I'm comfortable with closing the shop and moving on.

There is good news for you, though! The entire shop is on sale for 40% off! Yes, EVERYTHING! While supplies last, of course. Please read the "small print"  below:

This is not the end of me, though. I'll still be around and will return to blogging. Some of you may remember when I was the voice behind The Fabric Shopper. Well, I love blogging and miss it. I have started a new blog and would love it if you would join me there. It's call A Sewing Journal, and while I have a few posts up to give you an idea of what it's all about, it's still a bit of a work in progress.

Lastly, for those looking for some of the "Coming Soon" fabrics and more, here's a list of some sources for the fabric:

I want to end by saying thank you to all my lovely customers. I really appreciate your business and enthusiasm for organic fabric. I remain a big believer in organic cotton fabric and will continue to sew with it and write about it.
