Pretty cool to see someone so committed to making a t-shirt that the grew the cotton, ginned, carded, spun, wove, dyed and printed it! That's a wild project. via JPlovesCOTTON
, she may have figured out a way to make it happen AND get video throughout the process.

It’s collapsed down to a really good 20 minutes if you want to see what it would take to produce a cotton t-shirt…. all the way from growing to sewing and wearing.I love how honest he is on why it took so long to get this project done. Trying tois hard but growing it in Minnesota…. that’s a few extra levels of hard. I lived in New York years ago and grew a cotton plant in my office.
The things I saw that I thought hmmm…. I started seeds similarly to the way he did, small tray or pot, and I moved it to a five gallon bucket under heat lights later trying to give the tap root a good shot. Having some sand mixed into that potting soil could have helped too since cotton doesn’t like a lot of water on it . Seeing him try to scoop up cotton plants out of deep water…. all I could think was bless his heart.
