For the Earth Goddess — four small shirts, four quiet colors, one uncomplicated decision.

These came out of a small California workshop where the same family that made organic mattresses and bedding turned its attention to the smallest members of the household. The yarn is long staple organic cotton, spun for softness rather than speed, dyed with low impact eco-dyes, and stitched with a seam sturdy enough to survive the laundry cycle of an infant's first year. The neckline laps at the shoulder, which anyone who has wrestled a sleeve onto a squirming arm will recognize as mercy. Even the tag is cotton.

Four colors arrive together, which solves the drawer problem before it starts. Layer them under overalls in the cold months, wear them alone in the warm ones, and pass the set along when it is outgrown — the fabric holds up long enough to be someone else's hand-me-down.
