More American made fabric (made in the USA). This time from clothworks
http://americanmadebrand.com/
I think it's also grown in the USA. I haven't read the entire site yet. |
that's exciting--seattle---says it's spun, woven, dyed here--over 70% of out cotton is exported. Looks like out "hobby" finally caught on!

It's about time fabric is made in America and maybe we can bring back some jobs. We used to have textile mills when I lived in RI and they all closed down and moved south and then I guess they moved out of the country. I'd like to know what stores will be selling it. Sue

I do wish these companies remembered that "american" does not always mean the same as "usa". There's an entire other continent that is technically "american".
|
Well, reading the site I do believe it is all made in the USA. When I see something that states "Made in America" I guess I always assumed the company meant Made in the USA. Now I will have to research to make sure the company means the USA. Or maybe just keep assuming they aren't trying to pull the wool over my eyes and believe it is a product made in the USA.

We started American Made Brand with one desire: to reach back to the proud tradition of American textiles and produce a fabric entirely sourced and manufactured in the United States. per site

Great to see products made here ... I did have to have a giggle though when looking at the pictures that flashed across the top of the page. One is a pic of a "vintage" sewing machine and you can clearly see "Republic of China" across the top of the machine!!
Gee ... they could have at least found a USA vintage machine ... there are scads of them available!! |

Wish you luck....thank you!!! |
I don't know...do we really have to distinguish between North and Soutn American when we, here in the U.S., refer to American Made? Maybe so but from reading these comments I don't think anyone was confused as to where this cotton was grown and processed.

We shouldn't have to but some companies will do things for marketing that we don't think they should. Like say "made in America" for something made in South America.
This company is pretty clear on their website but for those that think beyond the USA borders, America doesn't always mean USA. So for THIS company, it's clear. For others, maybe not. Do people living in Canada or South America automatically think "USA" when they see "American made"? I wonder. |
