Ecological and regional labels are taking more and more place in the choice of fabrics. Eco-labels like Oeko-tex and GOTS are the two best known. I wrote an article about it that you can find on the blog. It is true that this can be a criterion of choice for the fabric of your seams especially if the fabric is intended for creations for children, for hygiene or to be in contact with food... It depends on the sensitivity of each.
It is also necessary to draw the attention that all these measures to produce cleaner, to use organic natural fibers has of course a price higher than a traditional production. This is also a selection criterion to be taken into account. On the shop, you will find some knitted fabric manufacturers with a good quality/price ratio which was important for me and the vast majority of our fabrics are certified at least Oeko-tex (Atelier Brunette, Dashwood Studio, fabrics with Belgian patterns, our jerseys, plain poplins...) And yes the use... a very important criterion to take into account... I invite you to think about the future of a garment. For example, there is no problem in wanting to make an evening / wedding dress in silk because we know that we will not wear it frequently but the choice of silk may be risky for the confection a blouse to go to the office when we have two young toddlers... In short, if you plan to wear and wear out your clothes because you cherish your homemade seams, choose textiles that will last over time, that will be durable and easy to maintain. The seventh but also the most important when choosing a fabric is above all that we like it. The pattern, the touch, the drape... everything that makes a fabric put stars in our eyes and make us want to make a garment that we will wear with joy and a smile.
