Roxy t-shirt in organic cotton


I am slowly working on adding new designs to my shop, and this is the first one - a sailor striped t-shirt in black and ivory organic cotton jersey. I really want to work more with organically grown cottons since they are much more eco friendly than the regular kind. Plus the quality of the organic knits that I have bought over the years has all been of excellent quality, with only exception that I can think of. And this striped jersey is just wonderful, so soft and comfortable, washes very well and is a little more substantial than regular t-shirt fabric. I named this one Roxy because I was thinking new wave in the early 80's when I made it, and will wear mine with my super skinny "can't really breath" waxed black jeans and Converse type of sneakers.
   
Parting shot. While I was taking the photos my daughter came into the bedroom to see what I was doing so I did a couple of shots with her too. In this one the brief was "look tough" and I think she did a much better job with that than I did!

  1. Wow wow looking great. At a first glance, it looks to me like it will last for 10 years of wear. Then I read your description. Now I'm thinking that it might last beyond that.

  3. Such a great photo of you and your daughter. Stripes are awesome. They never go out of style (kind of like all the other Floremark designs)!

  6. Thank you guys! A

    >>anonym: det finns tyvärr inte nån som har allt, men http://www.tygpyssling.se/index.php är bra (fast det kostar) och MG tyger har en del bra kvaliteter tycker jag till bra pris http://www.mg-tyger.se/shop/ (men beställ prover först, för det kan skilja en del)
    Och http://www.e-slojd.se/ förstås, de stickar sina egna trikåer.

  7. Hi Johanna, I'm Asa and I love to read your blog from time to time - very inspiring!

    I'd love to work more with organic fabrics but find it hard to find in stores around where I live, in Biella, Italy. I haven't been any luckier finding anything interesting online either, so I was wondering: do you by any chance know of a good, preferably European, webstore where they sell organic fabrics?

    Thanks a lot for a very interesting blog. Keep up the great job!
