I went a little nuts on Friday and did another fabric purge.\u00c2\u00a0 I seem to do this about once a year- go through all the fabric I STILL have from my mom (and my own stash too) and decide\u00c2\u00a0 what I am ready to part with.\u00c2\u00a0 This time it was lots of wool- plaids, suitings in gray, navy, black and brown.\u00c2\u00a0 And also some silks, cotton knits, terry cloth, seersucker, etc, etc… \u00c2\u00a0 Things that I am very unlikely to use. \u00c2\u00a0 I worry that they will get ruined if I just leave them in the attic for another generation- how crazy would that be.<\/p>\n

I was looking on Ebay to see if it’s worth trying to sell rather then donate it all to local fashion programs.\u00c2\u00a0 One of the auctions for wool yardage said that their fabric was all wool because they had done a bleach test on it.\u00c2\u00a0 I have never heard of a bleach test for wool so I googled it and found a description<\/a>.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 Now, I have a question about this- I can understand that bleach eats away natural fibers, but what if your fabric is a mix of wool and cotton or silk?\u00c2\u00a0 It would still dissolve, right?\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 Anyway, I tried it out and confirmed that some things were all natural and some things aren’t… so I know more then I did before.<\/p>\n

Remember this post<\/a> that started such an interesting discussion about buying handmade?\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 Since it was prompted by my visit to Etsy and my conversation with Vanessa who works on the Storque<\/a>, I forwarded her a link to the post so she could see the thoughtful comments everyone left.\u00c2\u00a0 Vanessa wrote an article<\/a> today that links to the post and quotes me and also some of you in the article.\u00c2\u00a0 I can’t wait to read the comments the article get- it continues to be a fascinating and important dialogue.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
