Green Cotton Clothing

My mother bought this when I was a kid & she didnt have anything to use it for either--I refused to wear anything she sewed me in pure green. The only thing I can think of is maybe an apron...I dont think any of my 4 daughters would want to wear green homemade clothes either...It would be a shame to waste this nice but green cotton material!Please help!

use it to back a quilt or a picnic blanket. Make pillows or curtains.
How about making a lot of kermits to donate to a charity?
Seat covers for the car?
Tote bags for carrying your groceries home from the store ... and if you still have lots left make tote bags for friends, family and foes ... emphasize "we believe in a green earth, stop using plastic and paper bags, recycle."

A bird cage cover? or is it too heavy for allowing air to circulate?
A cushion for a pet.
A very festive table cloth for St. Patrick's day.

Lay it out and mark a forest or park and roads for a little boy to use for driving around his miniature cars on.

book covers?
Cut it into banners for hanging up to decorate walls, point people towards an event, to paint a design on for your house flag set.

This was a fun exercise. I think personally I would make earth friendly green grocery bags. .... I have been eyeing the ones at the store and unwilling to pay the price for one cloth bag.

www.thenaturalguide.com - Little Filou founder Jean-Paul Rosa takes us on a quick tour of his eco friendly shirt and clothing offerings made from ...

Green clothing that is actually good for the earth like organic cotton. I want it to also advertise going green on it. A website or the name of a store where I can find these is what I would like.
I live in the US.
Not clothes that are the color green! The kind that is good for the environment.

Anywhere- all clothing stores probably have green-coloured clothing. I guess you can paint your clothes too...

Hi there, I've been looking for some stylish organic clothing, here are 2 websites I've found:
http://www.appareloftheearth.com/catalog /index.php
http://www.moralfervor.com/
I've also been told Wal-Mart carries organic clothing but I don't support Wal-Mart so that it out.

I'm looking to see if you know any other places I can get some green clothing.

I also am looking for solid reasons to convince my husband to try wearing organic clothing. I have my own list, I just want to hear your take on how I can convince him to just try it (guys, I could use your help especially!!)

There are a ton of websites that carry orgainic clothing. A little on the pricey side, but in the long run, worth it. You can find some of them advertised in the back of Veggie News, Yoga Journal, and Fit Yoga.

JC Penneys had some ladies night clothes that were organic. I bought 4 of them. They also sell bamboo blankets and sheets. I LOVE mine!

Places that sell Danskin (Walmart is one of them for those who still shop there)- that company has an organic line. I have several outfits from them.

For those of us who do sew, check out your fabric stores. Bamboo is on bolts, and hemp is too. It is pricey though.

Why do I choose orgainic?

I want to practice what I preach. I may not be able to buy everything at once, but when I am shopping for a new piece to replace a woren one, I choose organic material and am slowly rebuilding my wardrobe.

The clothing seems to last longer, be of better quality, and in clothing pieces that seem to be in a timeless style - so I am, in the long run, saving money.

I want to know what I put "on" my body is as important as what goes "in" my body. I do not want a bunch of man made chemicals in my clothing, leeching out every time I sweat, every time I wash, every time I move...

I want to be able to help support those who believe in the same things I do. The more people choose 'organic/natural', the better message we will send to those who make clothing (among other things).

Good luck convincing your Husband...it took me a couple years to do that with mine...once he started wearing the clothing, and could feel how much more superior it was (and better at natural breathing - thus, keeping him cooler), he was hooked.

I am looking for a company that sells 50/50 cotton and plastic shirts? Preferably in different colors?

Cotton an PLASTIC?

I hope it's recycled. Unfortunately I have never heard of a company that sells such a thing for a shirt. However, the greenest way I know of to shop for clothes is to shop at thrift stores. It's also one of the cheapest ways to shop for clothes too.
