Green Options

Last night I got an email from the HarmonyArt Organic Design mailing list, and WHOA MAMA! Here are two of the four new fabrics they’re releasing, called Garden and Space Cowboy.  Space Cowboy also comes in a red and green colorway.  The final fabric is Fields of Honey.  I’d been looking forward to that last one for quite a while.

All fabrics are 110″ wide organic cotton sateen that’s fair trade certified. Individual yards of all of these prints can be bought directly from Organic Cotton Plus, or Garden and Fields of Honey can be bought directly from our favorite online shop NearSea Naturals.  It’s $20-30 per yard, but take into account the 110″ width when you’re comparing the price to regular 45″ wide fabric.

The email also announced three new colors of 110″ wide cotton sateen solids: scarlet, chocolate brown, and moonless black, and 60″ wide white organic cotton sateen.

Designer Harmony Susalla has created fabrics for everyone from Target and Costco to Hot Topic and Tony Hawk. In 1998, she co-founded Harmony Art Organic Design and launched her own line of organic fabrics.

The current line of fabrics includes 28 fabrics in a variety of solids and prints in sateen, twill, denim, interlock, and even a couple of flannels for those cozy sewing projects. There’s a clearance section for flawed fabrics which may work for smaller scale projects. You can also check out the upcoming new fabrics on a page of their web site that is just as creative as the fabrics themselves. Take a look to see what I mean!

Why organic? In Susalla’s own words:
