There was a story in my local paper today about the price of cotton. The cost of cotton has jumped from 80 cents in March of 2010 to $1.95 this month and is expected to rise another 10% in the next six months.
Stores in this area say the price of their clothing has jumped from 10% to 15% in the last year and they are forced to raise prices on clothing.
Aren't we lucky we sew and if so moved, able to make our own clothing. I have just cleaned out my closet and am now going thru my stash for a new wardrobe.
