So glad you liked this one and I do hope it will inspire you to try making a coat of your own. You can buy organic quilt batting online from U.S.-based companies, but I guess you will need to see if they ship to Italy. That will be the trick. I am really wishing you luck and it was a pleasure to receive your comment. Mim Hi Again, Jo!

Love these coats, and can see myself making the woman's one. Love the idea of using organic cotton sheets. Was your quilt batting organic too? Where did you find that? I'm thinking that these things are going to be hard to find here in Italy, but it is worth looking into! Thanks again for your inspiration! Jo Wow Mim, you inspire with EVERY post!

So, I've tried to make the most of that situation by buying their sheets and turning them into organic clothing. In a way, this has worked out really nicely because even a twin size sheet offers you a lot of fabric. However, I have also purchased organic fabrics from hartsfabric.com and nearseanaturals.com. Both websites have a small but interesting inventory of organic fabrics. I wish they had more and that more companies were vending organic textiles, but the supply is limited so far. I figure, the more anyone who sews buys, the better our chances are of creating a demand for organics that will be supplied by textile makers who realize we really want these non-toxic materials to work with. Best of luck to you! Mim Welcome Sangeetha,

Can you please share where from you buy the material. I know you have mentioned coyuchi here. But is that for only sheets. I am looking for material for all kinds of organic clothes for daily usage. Will be very grateful to you if you could provide me the info. Thank you Hi
