Are you tired of wearing clothes that are mass-produced and contribute to environmental damage? Do you want to make a positive impact on the planet while also having stylish and comfortable clothing? Then it's time to consider growing your own sustainable clothes!
From seed to shirt, author Cindy Conner teaches you how to plant, grow, harvest, process, spin, and weave cotton and flax into cloth from which you can sew your own clothes. And the best part? When your clothes reach the end of their usefulness, they can return to the environment without causing harm, making this a truly renewable and sustainable option for clothing.
Whether you live in colder climates where flax thrives or warmer climates where cotton does best, there is a sustainable option (or two, if you live in the temperate zone) for you. And it takes much less space than you would think; a backyard garden will do!
This complete guide includes in-depth instructions on growing and harvesting, preparing the fiber for spinning, the spinning process for each fiber, the basics of weaving cloth, and suggestions on patterns and how to weave the pieces you need for clothing. Cindy has been growing her own clothes for years and teaches the process in classes, so she includes all of her knowledge on potential pitfalls and how to avoid them in her thorough instructions on each phase.
You can grow your own flax and cotton and make clothes to your own style preferences. It's time to take the next step in sustainable living and make your own clothes in breathable and comfortable natural cotton and flax grown in your own backyard!
