𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒍 𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒔𝒐𝒏 𝒘𝒆 𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒑𝒍𝒂𝒔𝒕𝒊𝒄-𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆🧵🌿⁠
⁠
When we started Paper Scissors Cloth, it wasn’t about making a grand statement — it was more of a thought experiment. Why were there so few plastic-free sewing options, especially in haberdashery?⁠
⁠
Were plastic-based products actually better? Or was it more about habit, access, and a bit of bias?⁠
⁠
So we decided to find out for ourselves. We sourced our own plastic-free supplies and asked one simple question:⁠
⁠
Would they actually work? (Spoiler: they did — and then some.)⁠
