Ethical Fashion Forum"Sustainable Fabrics Master Class"

At RICH MIX Bethnal Green Road on 17th March
I found this very useful and have full notes in my journal on the ins and outs of different fabrics and the various sourcing possibilities and had a talk from Kirsten Samuel of MUMO a company who are working with various cooperatives in Brazil who are at the forefront of sustainable fibers and fabrics for fashion and interiors .

You can get colour ground cotton from Maggie's Organics and Fox fibers.
LOOP fabrics UK do a range of hemp and cotton blends
Also found that Smarts do a hemp/ramie blend coated for digital print that is probably suitable for furnishing/ interiors and am going to sample that . A good group to keep in touch with and some useful connections for the future .
