I am not ashamed to admit that I subscribe to about a zillion furniture and homewares retailers’ newsletters. Most days, they are devoid of anything I’d want to feature, but this week’s email from Room & Board turned up a few gems. Their new pillow collection appears to include organic fabrics from Mod Green Pod. Room & Board doesn’t specifically identify the fabrics as being organic (just cotton), but I immediately recognized MGP’s Bloom, Atticus and Glimmer fabrics!
I am so happy to see such a large retailer carrying fabrics from a small, green company like Mod Green Pod. I’ve made no secret of my love for their patterns, so this is a welcome sight. And it’s a great solution for people who love the fabrics as much as I do, but don’t trust themselves with a sewing machine (although you CAN work wonders with iron-on hem tape these days!) You will, however, get a lot more for your money if you buy yardage of the fabric, but I just wanted to show you these new, pre-made options.
Why It’s Green:
- Made in the U.S.
- Covered with organic fabrics from Mod Green Pod, which are grown, woven, and printed in the U.S. using non-toxic pigments
Price: $49

Very Nice!!! Love the patterns and love the fact that they’re cotton and NON TOXIC pigments. So fab!
Thanks for noticing and for posting.
That is Mod Green Pod’s ORGANIC cotton. Very keen of you to notice that it was mislabeled as just “cotton.” We’re working on that, but I can promise that it is, indeed, the good stuff!
Cheers!
