Ethical sewing

It has been a while since I blogged about anything, I am spending less time doing craft, and more time being Mum.

This morning I read a post here that rang my bell (anyone remember Collette/Colleen? 'you can ring my be--ee---ell, you can ring my bell'!)

Sherrin does amazing craft, and I think I want to be focussed like her when I grow up. I love her fabric designs that she is developing and her original designs. I was in the Oprah a-ha trance when I read about her quest to source ethical craft goods and cotton in particular.

I have often referred to the ethical arguments concisely put by Eilleen on her blog, (link to one of her series on Made In China), and am really interested to read that others are having similar experiences.

I am also really interested that I don't know the answer to Sherrin's question.

Do you? Does it interest you? Do you think about these issues? Do you try and source Fair Trade chocolate and coffee? What about other crops?


What do you think?
