110: Sewn with Purpose - The Story Behind Organic Fabric Company
Sometimes the most beautiful journeys begin with the smallest stitches.
In this week’s episode, I invite you into the story of how Organic Fabric Company was born — a tale of slow beginnings, a mother’s longing for healthier materials, and a dream to offer something better to the sewing community.
Back in 2016, while running my handmade cloth diaper business, I stumbled upon my first yards of organic cotton from Birch Fabrics and Cloud9. It was love at first sight — and even more, love at first touch. The purity, the softness, the beauty... it awakened something deeper in me. Yet sourcing these precious fabrics was almost impossible at the time.
So a dream was planted: to open a fabric shop where every single material aligned with the values of health, sustainability, and beauty.
Today, nearly ten years later, Organic Fabric Company offers a curated collection of organic cottons, Oeko-Tex certified textiles, upcycled wool, and more — each chosen with love, intention, and respect for the makers and the earth.
In this episode, we explore:
- What organic fabric truly means (and why it matters)
- The health, environmental, and ethical benefits of organic cotton
- How to identify genuinely organic textiles through trusted certifications
- Simple steps for making the switch to sustainable fabrics in your own home and sewing projects
Choosing organic is more than a purchase — it’s a beautiful act of slow living, a way of weaving mindfulness into the everyday rhythms of our lives.
