Via True Up, sneak peeks of two new organic cotton fabric collections coming sometime in 2011 (probably Spring or Summer). This one, Ready Set Go by Anne Kelle for Robert Kaufman.
Below, Jungle, from Timeless Treasures.
Meet Susan of SK Naturals. Today she is going to tell us a little about what she sews with organic cotton fabrics:
Susan: My primary focus has been clothing, toys and bedding for babies & young children. Partially because I had small children when I started this business, but also this age group is probably the most susceptible to any harm that can be done with all of the chemicals in conventional cotton. I've also started branching out into household items, such as throw pillows and placemats.
Modern Organic Fabrics: Which fabrics do you use?
Susan: I use Harmony Art, but also recently discovered and fell in love with Circa 50 Monaluna and My Happy Garden. I have found some nice organic terry cloth and flannel too.
Modern Organic Fabrics: Why do you like to use organic cotton fabric?
Susan: It's the safest fabric there is! There are so many great quality and fun organic prints out now.
Susan: I sell organic bodysuits, shoes and mittens for babies and toddlers. I also sell crib sheets, blankets, and toddler pillows and pillowcases - all from organic cotton.
Sorry, I'm a little behind this week! This week's Happy Monday on Tuesday giveaway is a set of five fat quarters in the shell colorway from Forest Friends Flannel by Cloud9 Fabrics.

Congratulations to Christina:
That's a snappy pair of prints. My thoughts immediately went to 'pillowcase' when I saw them which is funny since I've never sewn one or felt the need to do so... until now.
Magazines -- do Ottobre and Burda count? Other than those, the only other I buy is the occasional 'Stitch' though I've been known to read 'Threads' in the library if there's a technique on the cover that catches my eye.
