A look at where my raw materials come from

Go look at the pictures, even read the article.  Fruits of the Loom. I love it when a good photographer captures the essence of an industry.  My only quibble with the article is about how the textile industry is in it’s final death throes.  Sorry, I beg to differ.

It isn’t what it was 50 or even 150 years ago. It has changed, but with all of us crafters out there as well as a thriving garment business going on all over the US (I can give tours of the LA area garment districts alone). Textiles haven’t died here and all moved to China.  Like every other business – it has changed. Change is not death.

Anyway, enough of my soapbox, just go look at the photos, they are wonderful and they tell an amazing human+machine story.
