I need new sheets for our bed! When I was a child, bedsheets were old, cotton and had been 'sides-to-middled' - you can't do THAT with modern poly-cotton sheets when they wear out in the middle!
So - pure cotton then, and while I'm going there, organic would be good. And fairly traded...
So here we have our very own West Wales organic textile place, in Machynlleth, just down the road!
A lovely wild road-trip, a discount (cos I was nice and visited in person and promised to return for the other sheet), which effectively meant I got the wooden reel of organic cotton thread free...
No, I probably didn't save much from ordering them online from one of the giants, and yes you would have to pay postage, if you don't live over here in the wild west - but check out their website:
And get inspired...
And yes I do still need to hem the sheet, use it and wash it before going back for another 3metres.
I shall get out my ancient hand-turned Singer sewing-machine - which my mum bought when she was expecting me. In 1954...
