Here is an article I found that may explain why fabric is increaasing in price.

If the price of all goods have risen considerably....why haven't my wages gone up to match? Gas for the car (and mower) is between $3.50 and $4.00 per gallon, but has my employer given out raises to match the increased cost of just getting to my job? Our economy is in dire straits and the current government is doing nothing to help.

I see price increases every time I walk into a store or stop for gas. Unfortunately my income has not gone up so. It is getting harder and harder to make ends meet.
