Re: Substance: A Boutique with a Conscience
I love the colour combinations.
posted: 5:56 pm on May 17thAt first I thought I'd opened a newsletter from the Ethical Fashion Forum. Great that this topic is being covered.
I am searching for ideas on sustainable interfacing. Any suggestions. I can use organic cotton knit, but would like the benefits of fusible interfacing if I can. Any recommendations?
Re: Not Your Ordinary T-Shirt
I am trying to make 'eco' items that use organic cotton etc, then at the end of their lives, can actually be composted and therefore be useful in the natural cycle of things. But that means I can not use nylon/synthetic interfacing. I would appreciate so much advice for inter-facing products that use sustainable materials. Does anyone manufacture a iron-on interfacing made from natural materials?

Re: Not Your Ordinary T-Shirt
Hi,I have to go find an imperial tape measure, because we use metric here, also, I can only guess what an oak tag is.

Re: Not Your Ordinary T-Shirt
I'll have to go find an inch measure, because we are metric here.

Re: Not Your Ordinary T-Shirt
I have found this article so brilliant! The single T-shirt I made from a pattern, was the most disappointing thing I have ever made,it was badly fitting in everyone of the ways you describe and I thought what a waste of time and money.
posted: 7:18 pm on May 5thYou should sell Tee shirt patterns on line! But this article is better still really, because you get to understand the ways to fix all the other patterns which are disappointing. Having made notes I am off to have another go.
A suggestion, I had to look up tissue fitting to see what you meant, I missed the fact that it was really pinning the pattern to up onto yourself.
