Welcome to Fair Trade Fabric
We are pioneers in providing fairly traded fabrics and notions for patchwork and quilting.
Why?
Because quilters care.
People who quilt or make patchwork items are natural recyclers, who often make quilts as gifts, to raise funds or to support people in times of need. Now caring quilters can buy fabrics that support marginalised communities in the developing world. Everything you will find in our online shop is fairly traded, guaranteeing that small scale producers in developing countries receive a fair and stable price. We subscribe to the 10 principles of Fair Trade as laid out by the World Fair Trade Organization.
Whether farmers can make a living from their cotton is determined by the price they can achieve for their produce on the world market. Restrictions on which countries will import from them, subsidies in developed nations and other unfair trading practices all have an impact. Read on to discover why and what effects this has on marginalized farmers.
