I have been getting quite a few inquiries about organic fabrics. I looked into it briefly, but on a special order basis for individual customers it was too expensive. Way too expensive.
But, because there have been so many inquiries, I have decided to begin to offer organic sleep sacks and other organic items as part of the regular ceewee line. I am currently reviewing samples from the mills. There will be likely 2 organic sleep sacks I will offer: 'winter weight' with organic all cotton fleece as the outer layer and an inner layer of organic flannel, and 'summer weight' with 2 layers of organic flannel.
The fabrics likely will be natural in color. The process used to dye most fabrics is harsh, so I am staying away so these sleep sacks will be as 'organic' as possible. I am also going to make my own bias tape out of a couple of organic fabrics that are 'colorgrown', ie, the color is grown into the fiber before the fabric is milled. So again, no harsh dyes but a little added snazziness to the sack. Unfortunately, I haven't found an organic twiddler source yet.....
Hopefully by the end of March this new line will debut! It will come at the perfect time to stock up on lightweight sleep sacks for the warmer months.
I have a couple of other new announcements coming up sooner though ;)
