There is certainly still a lot of room for growth in the organic notions market, but there are still relatively few manufacturers that are making organic notions. Unfortunately, most of the organic notions available today are bland natural color. Hopefully in the near future us eco-crafters will at least be able to enjoy colored organic thread. Carpet and Mats
For more information on organic notions you must read about What Mainstream Stores Have to Offer and Micheal Miller Fabrics which offers a few organic trims.

I am a work-at-home mom busy chasing after my son and establishing my eco-business, Tiny Décor. I also write the Tiny Décor Blog aimed at modern parents trying to go green for their kids. Tiny Décor has allowed me to turn a passion for sewing, craft, and environmentalism into a business. Blog writing has become an outlet for me to share my experiences going green, being a parent, and loving the planet.
I picked up some organic bamboo stuffing for a recent project (though I got mine at Joann Fabrics.) It was wonderful to work with— I never want to use that rough polyester stuffing again! (Unless I find out it was recycled from soda bottles or something, then I’d consider it.)
Becky I agree with you on the polyester stuffing. I have used both the Bamboo batting and stuffing from Joanns and I love it. I have also tried the PLA-fiber batting which is made from corn fiber. It is similar to the polyester stuffing. I personally thought it got lumpy in pillows.
Have been searching for organic cotton thread for ages! NearSeaNaturals looks like a great site, it’s a pitty we don’t have something similar in the UK (though I’m glad to see that they deliver across the pond).
I would also really like to start using organic cotton embroidery thread but can’t seem to find any anywhere, beginning to think it doesn’t yet exist…
Has anyone been able to find organic zippers?
