I just sewed 4 beautiful girls dresses to sell in my Etsy shop and I just learned about this new law. This law applies to clothing as well and it hurts to think that in just a few weeks my beautiful dresses that I made will be illegal for me to sell and considered hazerdous. I read that there may be some exeptions such as natural materials such as natural unfinished wood and cotton. I wonder if the cotton must be dye free or if I will be able to put cute buttons on them. Is America turning towards communism? After all the lead toy recalls from China, people trust and turn towards handcrafted items that are made in America. So, why hurt the small handcrafters? I wish that America could just ban toys from China, but that will not happen because of corporate greed! The government doesn't care about the little people. Are all the handcrafters going to receive a bailout?! I am very disapointed as I am passionate about sewing.
