We are pleased to announce the creation of Silver Needle & Thread, a custom sewing and design company located in Jacksonville, FL.  We specialize in creating one-of-a-kind hand sewn garments using organic and natural fabrics.  Organic cotton, organic hemp, organic linen, organic wool, cotton, hemp, linen, wool, raw silk, peace silk, bamboo, soy and many blends are our choice for style.  Why organic? Organic fabrics are non-threathening to our health unlike polyester and man made fabrics that have been liked to an array of serious health problems.  Man made fabrics are laden with toxic chemicals that affect people, land, air and water.  We are committed to doing our part in living sustainably on this earth--sewing is our passion.  Visit us at:  www.silverneedleandthread.com to learn more about creating the wardrobe of your dreams.
