Organic Fabric and Pattern Giveaway

Posted by on Jan 31, 2013 in Deal of the Month, Giveaway, organic cotton | 261 comments

We’re doing a joint fabric and pattern giveaway with Funky Friends Factory. Thanks to Pauline for joining us in this fun collaboration. We hope you’ll enjoy it!

Here’s the info from Pauline…

I have been having such fun making some baby toys from organic interlock fabric!

When I received the fabric from Organic Cotton Plus, and I really wasn’t sure how my Funky Friends would turn out as I haven’t used cotton interlock before! I found that it was really easy to sew with ( I just used a ball point needle and an all purpose polyester machine thread as it is a jersey/knit type fabric) and I am so excited by how cute my toys turned out!

This is my Dilby Duck toy sewing pattern made up in Banana yellow and Butterscotch eco-dyed organic cotton Interlock.

And this my Plattie Platypus toy sewing pattern made up in Baby Blue and Banana.

I just LOVE their fabric names!

And look how cute Petunia Pig looks in Pink and Plum!

Easy Ways to Green your Craft Business or Hobby

Posted by on Oct 2, 2012 in Deal of the Month, Organic, organic cotton | 0 comments

 

Whether you are crafting as a hobby or running a business, it’s important to be environmentally friendly and responsible. This approach not only appeals to your customer base, but it makes your endeavors more sustainable and affordable.
 
Here are just a few suggestions to help you make your business or hobby a greener space:
 
 
Recycle: Does your city offer curbside recycling? If it does, take full advantage of it by collecting paper, plastic and metals in separate bins. You should also check with your town’s waste management website to see what they do and do not accept. If curbside isn’t an option, you can research Earth911.com to find a drop off recycling center near you.
 
Turn off equipment when it's not being used: This can reduce the energy used by 25 percent; turning off the computers at the end of the day can save an additional 50 percent.
 
Encouraging communications by email and reading email messages onscreen to determine whether it's necessary to print them. If it's not, don't!
 
Reduce fax-related paper waste by using a fax-modem and by using a fax cover sheet only when necessary. Fax-modems allow documents to be sent directly from a computer, without requiring a printed hard copy.
 
Produce double-sided documents whenever possible.
 
 
 
Don’t leave a faucet dripping; always close them tightly after use. (One drop wasted per second wastes 2,000 gallons per year.)
 
Install displacement toilet dams in toilet reservoirs. Placing one or two plastic containers filled with stones (not bricks) in the toilet's reservoir will displace about 1 gallon of water per flush – a huge reduction of water use over the course of a year.
 
Use recycled paper wherever possible. This can be for your business cards, invoices and marketing materials.
 
Choose suppliers who take back packaging for reuse. Use a critical eye to see where you can reduce plastic or use reusable materials. Ask yourself how you can make this more sustainable. Can you use minimal packaging? What about reusable packaging such as craft paper? It’s always better to choose metal, glass, and paper over plastic. 
 
Search for "greener" products and services in the local community. The further your supplies or service providers have to travel, the more energy will be used to get them to you.
 
Reuse existing office furniture, it may just need to be refurbished. It's less expensive than buying new and better for the environment.
 
How do you make your craft business or hobby more environmentally friendly?  Please post in the comments below, we would love to hear your ideas!
