Laujosa made beautiful samples of dress VIDA and the applebag using PüDorf-fabric

There are different classifications ( bio, organic, kbA  ) and certifications ( ÖkoTex 100,  GOTS are the most important) by now. Some will certify the whole production chain including fair payment for the cotton pickers, some will certify that the fabric colour is harmless and some certify that the use for babies is safe. There are all kinds of discussions of this theme and some will only ‘buy’ certifications. As you can imagine this illegal certificat will only cost a fraction of a real GOTS-certification. We all know how complex a complete supervison would be, how many persons would have to be involved. This is far too expensive for any hobby seamstress

Luckily this topic has become more and more important for fabric dealers. They not only want to fulfill the customers demands but are reluctant to fill up their stocks with contaminated fabrics. So there are quite a few dealers who will try to supply you with organic fabrics even if most fabrics don’t have a written certificate.

So what can you do if you want to sew for your children?

The safest and healthiest way is to use used clothes. They have been washed several times and they are not polluted anymore.

Otherwise you have to believe your dealer and you should wash the fabric before using it.

It’ s very important to know that the fabric don’t contain Azo dye.

You should at leat try to get unpolluted fabrics for babies and childrens’ clothes, for pillows and underwear. The farbenmix-ribbons are certified ÖkoTex 100 and babies can even suck on themwithout be harmed.

Brandneu bietet die Fa. Swafing has a brandnew 100% organic, azo dye-free collection of poplins in a great quality. The fabrics are not cheap but worth the price.

We made a little collection with them,

take a look at all the pictures HERE!

The characters on the pillow are appliqued, you can download the artwork HERE.

Nice projects for little ribbon remnants:

Jasmin is making little flags

perfect for embellishing the side parts of dress VIDA.

before attaching the side parts just sew the ribbons on as you like.

Or just loosely attached to an embroidered sticker.

Pinafore dress VIDA is very trendy again this summer.

For the first time at Mallofaktur.

Surely a winner at the sewing classes by Teuto-Elfen.

Emily&Connor shows us how to embellish shirts without an embroidery machine to get very special models.

Very easy with templates of the ebook “I love music” and a few ribbons:
