I do have some organic cotton in my shop from Cloud9 Fabrics and Birch Fabrics. Both are GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) certified. All collection from Birch Fabrics are using 100% premium organic cotton. Cloud9 Fabrics using 100% organic cotton with 3 of collection using 100% premium organic cotton.
Both are easy to sew, nice to wear, and looks absolutely beautiful!
So what is the difference between the 100% premium organic cotton and 100% organic cotton?
The premium are much more drapier, softer due to its higher amount of threads (Cloud 9 claimed their premium collections to be 200 threads). While the non-premium are the usual light weight cotton that we usually use (Cloud 9 use 100% cotton poplin). The premium is very much recommended for babies and kids (and adult too of course!), due to its extra softness which will feels good to the baby's skin.
For Birch Fabrics I currently has the fat quarters pre-cut from these two collection (limited quantity) :

They are all available at our online shop www.cokottoshop.com, and we hope that we could bring more in the shop for you!
