*My products are made to order as this helps decrease the impact it has on the planet. My fabrics are printed in Kent in the UK, which lowers the CO2 emissions, as the distance the fabrics have to travel is considerably lower than with commercial worldwide production. I have also chosen to use 100% Organic Thread to encourage organic farming without the use of chemicals, which often end up in soil and rivers. Everything is made on demand, in-house so you know who is making them for you. Because I make on demand, there is no waste. I use just what is needed.
