WARNING: Stay Away from these Harmful Fabrics by SILVER NEEDLE & THREAD

Two very common fabrics used in fashion today are actually the most harmful to your health.

The First…

Polyester: made from synthetic polymers, is a very hot and restrictive fabric.
Trapping toxins in your body, over time causing them to build up and cause major health issues like cancer.  

The Second…
Rayon: made from wood pulp and treated with chemicals like ammonia, acetone and sulphuric acid to name just a few.
Linked to many ailments such as nausea, headaches, and can you believe anorexia and Parkinson’s disease for people who regularly wear the fabric? Not surprising after learning the amount of chemicals it’s been treated with.

One things for sure our bodies need less toxins and to breath...

Join me as I take the time to design, sew and create a new wardrobe after 16 years. You know what they say, "those who provide services are the one's who end up needing the service the most but seldom take the time to take care of themselves."  Well it's true, as a professional dressmaker it's been over 16 years since I created a wardrobe for myself.  Time to change that!   Over the next few weeks I will be designing my new organic and natural fibre wardrobe incorporating vintage, classic and modern styles with lots of color, clean lines, tailoring components, great cuts and fabric combinations.

I love having the opportunity to talk with like minded movers and shakers, who have a genuine passion, drive and concern for what our future holds in the mist of a toxic chemical saturated society of over consumption and waste.  Needless to say the house was full and we went way over the time, but no one cared.
