I'm looking for some gently used hemp or organic cotton baby clothes, any colors. Any suggestions where?

I live in St. Paul, Minnesota. I've looked on Craigslist and poked around ebay but haven't had much luck. There's a store called Peapod's, but all the organic cotton/hemp/bamboo-woven baby clothes are SUPER expensive. I don't want to spend that much when my 3-month-old girl is just going to end up spitting up or pooping on some/most of these garments. At the same time, though, I'd like to "go green" with my baby. So recommendations?? Please and thanks!


I thought eBay had a descent amount of organic cotton baby clothes. This site helps you find organic cotton baby clothes ending soon on eBay. Easy to hop on and bid on items ending soon with no bids. You can get some good deals this way. http://www.organic-cotton-baby-clothes.c om/

I want to dye my own fabric, where can I find a low impact dye thats easy to use?

I want to start making all organic cotton and hemp clothes. I have never done it before, and I want to find a fiber reactive low impact dye that's not harmful to the environment. But at the same time its not to hard to use. Any suggestions? Ive been searching online, but Im not sure about what Ive found.

Hemp fabric & bamboo clothes: rough & itchy or soft like cotton?

I have severe allergies and can only wear cotton. I even tried organic wool: it's rough, itchy & too warm.

Have you tried hemp clothes or bamboo clothes? If yes, how does it feel like? (see title and pls give details) Thx.


i've never worn hemp (other than shoes), but i wear a ton of bamboo! i find it to be even softer than cotton, and it holds up better over time.....

Where to find sustainable fabrics and low impact dye?

Hey... I'm a 16 year old aspiring artist/clothing designer.

I like to make alot of clothing and graphic designs. So... I was wondering... where can I find sustainable/organic fabrics (organic cotton, hemp, bamboo) in plain colors (white) for clothing? As well as fabric dyes that are low impact?

Thanks :D (ps... I live in little Iowa... so any online stores? Or... perhaps they may carry it in chain fabric stores?)


What you're looking for is called PFD (prepared for dyeing) or greige (pronounced "gray") goods.

I'd start by sending you to http://www.dharmatrading.com for some dye and process information -- they carry a few "sustainable fabrics" (I do not count bamboo as sustainable -- the processes being used are pretty environmentally nasty).

Remember, if you want deep colors on cotton, look for mercerized cotton to start with. The difference is night and day...

    Designers find value in vintage

    In a new twist on sustainable fashion, designers aren’t just embracing new fabrics made from organic cotton, hemp or bamboo, they’re pawing through piles of clothing waste, crafting high-fashion, hand-made items from old cashmere sweaters, T- shirts and other castoffs.

    In the U.S., there’s a lot to choose from. Almost 9 million tons of clothes and shoes end up in the municipal waste stream each year, according to the Environmental Protection Agency.

    "Most sustainable fashion is focused on substituting materials, whether it’s going from conventional cotton to organic, or from [synthetic] rayon to [wood-based] Tencel," said Lynda Grose, a fashion designer and associate professor at California College of the Arts in San Francisco. "Designers are usually focused on the product, the materials, the hand feel — the look, attitude and colors. We’re generally not very involved in the supply chain, and that’s where all the environmental impacts are."
