In This Issue

In this issue we present you with our first Organic Fabric Resource Directory. Many of you love sewing and quilting, but want to learn more about where to buy organic fabrics. Our feature article introduces you to organic fabric manufacturers, and includes a directory. In addition, you’ll learn the simple and easy techniques of making a doll quilt! There are two knitting projects, one is knitting a classic shirt, and the other is a baby carrier designed by Gina Wilde, author of Mindful Knitting, and Shibori Knits. In addition, we’ll have a perfectly sized blanket for grade schoolers, made with all organic Sherpa and flannel, great for all seasons. In the woodshop, we bring you a super easy project, making a pencil holder out of a tree log or branch. Craft a Story will feature a dandelion and the Sun with a felting craft project to go with it. Our cover, the beautiful plush bunnies are what we are so excited about! You’ll learn how to make a sitting bunny and a jumping bunny, and also how to grow your own dirtless grass for the Easter basket. Enjoy!
