I’m going to cut a microfiber cloth in pieces to make small cloths to clean your glasses with. So, i was researching which overlock stitch best to use on my regular sewing machine and suddenly came across this scientific article:

Such a totally unexpected find, but it does make me think. I just had to share it with you, makes for a bit of a change, right :-)

(I submitted this post earlier, but it seems to never have made it to the community, so apologies if you see this post twice)

    I completely agree with you and in our household we are trying our best to fight this! Though it is tiresome, because it can take a lot of work to find things not made out of plastic and often it is more expensive.

    Even secondhand clothing is now a market where things are becoming more expensive because they noticed an increased interest for it. So, now marketing does its best to market secondhand stuff as good for the environment and prices go up and up
