    how fabric is made. Fascinating

    Now I understand why fabric is so expensive This video is amazing. Ever wonder how fabric is made? Check out this SUPER cool video from the ladies at Cotton + Steel, a new division of RJR Fabrics.(and get excited, because the Cotton + Steel collections arrive in July!)

    A fascinating process. My husband printed business forms and then food cartons for years and "printing" fabric is much the same, I see.

    But it makes me sad to see this done in Japan, knowing that so many of the big mills in the south -- the Carolinas and Georgia -- are now closed.

    Very interesting. I'd rather buy American made fabric. Good to know about this company.

    Unfortunately, most of the American manufacturers are gone now. I would love to see it come back.
