Making a label for the inside of my undies with care instructions, including, of course, the all important “Made in America” line.  Which means I’m one step closer to getting all the cut out undies out of my studio and on to Etsy!  Woo!  :)  Such a journey!  :)

So what makes you get off the couch as it were and stop procrastinating?

Made in America?

So, how many things are you wearing that are Made in America?

Made in America: The Clothing Challenge

When I first saw this video, I felt pretty proud- 75% of my clothes were made in America- pajama pants I’d made myself, a hoodie my Grandma had knitted, and an American Apparel tshirt.  I must sheepishly admit that my undies were the only article that weren’t!  It’s okay that I’m still working on changing out all my pairs as they wear out, right?

Is the Made in America label important to you?
