I have tried to learn more about the places where my clothes are made. When we lived in England, they were VERY VERY aware of that and we watched a lot of footage on it and it was TERRIBLE. I think that conditions have improved tremendously in the last few years, but I still know they are way worse than anything we would be okay with, but they do give families income that they would otherwise not have. So, let's keep our eyes peeled for more info on this. We can find it somehow. We should put Caroline on this. She finds everything!Elisha Boggshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06347658788975285375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2789902190872901811.post-57376178942065538142012-01-17T08:58:42.065-08:002012-01-17T08:58:42.065-08:00Awesome post!

With the new job, buying new clothes has been apart of it (I'm still sad I can't wear my favorite hiking skirt to work. Boo). I need to start sewing more - to make styles mine. Or to "upcycle" old clothes, which also involves sewing. Time to dust off the ole machine. :)Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13312645756972781067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2789902190872901811.post-46763391000713193192012-01-16T07:07:46.714-08:002012-01-16T07:07:46.714-08:00Love this!

I think you may have inspired me to try the same this year....How do we find out about how/where clothes are made and how the workers are treated, are they paid a fair wage? I don't mind from other countries if they are made by hands that need work, are treated well and fairly. But most o my stuff is from Target or Wally world, so I have NO idea. I like this idea from you so much. I may need some support from you on this! ha ha! I'd love to learn to sew too...I live in skirts all summer!Ashlie Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09548310095861102182noreply@blogger.com
