Organic fabrics for babies Source without horrendous shipping charges?
rivergum Intermediate AUSTRALIA Member since 2006 Posts: 783	Login to reply to this post Like this post Date: 1/26/12 3:53 PM I want to buy some organic cotton fleece, Velour and other knits suitable for baby clothes, mostly in natural/cream/white at this stage. Wazoodle seems like a good source, but their shipping to Australia is exorbitant, $70 for 3 yards! I have looked at Near Sea Naturals, but they don't quite have the range. Are there any other sources for organics with more reasonable shipping? ------ Taking in is happier than letting out. Sydney, Australia

Mine is pretty thick too, but it could be the same - I'm tempted to get some of Fabricmart's, except that I'm doing really really well at not buying fabric right now..... I don't know what FM's shipping costs are to Oz. ------ http://jillybejoyful.blogspot.com/ a blog about creativity, sewing, vintage sewing machines, and...... life :)

I have ordered the organic knit from Fabricmart, so one down, more to go. Please keep the suggestions coming if you have any. I also found some organic knits are fabric.com, but the last order I received from them was very thin. I can't imagine trying to put a band on such a thin knit. Besides, it's a winter baby. But their shipping is fantastic. ------ Taking in is happier than letting out. Sydney, Australia

rivergum Intermediate AUSTRALIA Member since 2006 Posts: 783	Login to reply to this post In reply to QuiltSewSewSue Like this post Date: 1/28/12 3:42 PM Thanks so much for this tip, Qsss. I am absolutely thrilled. I ordered straight away and the shipping was $8! Beats paying $70 for the same amount. PR is such a good resource. I also got some very beautiful thermal organic cotton from Near Sea Naturals and the organic knit from Fabricmart. The latter was so cheap the shipping won't put too much of a dent in the budget. ------ Taking in is happier than letting out. Sydney, Australia
