Nature’s Fabrics:
Catering to the
Sustainability Movement
Date: April 1, 2023 at 10:00am. Come at 9:30 to socialize.
Location: Via Zoom. See newsletter for link to sign up.
Speaker: Jeanne Cain of Nature's Fabrics
According to Fashion and Home Decorating magazines, sustainabilityis a big trend for 2023. Is this a new era of awareness about consuming andproducing garments that are less harmful to the environment? Natural fabrics such as wool, linen and cotton have existed for millennia. But we are also seeing recycled materials and fabrics made from newer fibers such as soy or hemp. Our choice of materials is what impacts the environment the most. Bychoosing eco-friendly fabrics alone, we’re taking a huge step toward a more sustainable wardrobe.
Nature’s Fabrics caters to sewists who are concerned about their environmental impact. They strive to bring us the very best fabric for all our sewing needs. They prefer natural and organic fabrics produced in the most ethical and earth friendly manner. They work with their manufacturers to be sure the fabrics are free from harmful chemicals, and that they do no harm to our environment. They also bring to market fabrics that are reused and recycled so that waste can be minimized.
Michael and Jeanne Cain are the owners of Nature’s Fabrics. They will talk to us about their company, how it started, how it has changed, where it is going, and what is their company philosophy. Topics will include their market niches, product lines, recycled fabric, and lesser known fibers such as hemp, modal and tencel. They will also enlighten us about the challenges and future of the natural fiber market and what it takes for an online retailer to cater to a customer that prefers to purchase in-person rather than over the internet.
Our program starts at 10:00am and usually features a speaker. Come at 9:30 to socialize. After the program we take a short break before having our business meeting and show and tell.
