Interesting article on BBC about fabric made from oranges.
Who would have thought.

anytime now i guess. so many Countries make fabrics but name them things we don't know, so they could be made out of anything. Interesting.

That is a very interesting article - and flour being made from the waste products of orange juice too! Great ideas!

I had no idea you could do so much with orange peels.

Love this idea! I'd certainly try it in a quilt if the fabric became available. The flour is interesting too.
