We are pretty uptight about waste around here. With any sewing facility, the generation of fabric scraps and seconds is inevitable. What we do with those can make a world of difference. We’ve been weighing our waste lately and making definite efforts to reduce, reuse and recycle!

Reduction and recycling are daily efforts but what I wanted to share today is how we are reusing.

You probably already know about our patchwork wet bags. These are a great way to use up wool leftovers. And our wonderful seamstresses quite enjoy the opportunity to develop their own colour palette and designs. We were able to mark these down recently in hopes of encouraging more customers to buy items made from reclaimed or recycled materials. (http://betterforbabies.com/diaperaccessories.html)

What you might not know, is how we reclaim velour and turn it into marvelous little organic cotton face rounds. You can find these and more at our new site, www.betterforgrownups.com.
