| Friday Fun Fact! It's Earth Day! There are so many ways to discuss the impact of textiles on the environment. Fast fashion is a huge problem globally, and microplastics from synthetics are contaminating our water supplies. What can we do? Sewing your own clothing is one way to opt out of the fast fashion cycle. Did you know many garments are only worn seven times before being discarded? By putting time and care into a well-made garment, then using it for years, we can maximize the lifespan of our textile resources. Choosing natural fibers also helps! But if you opt for a synthetic, choose wisely. The majority of synthetic fabrics Treadle carries are designer deadstock - remnants that would otherwise have ended up in landfills. Giving them a new life is a great form of re-use! |
