If you’re interested, a large, distributed textiles production industry will happen in the U.S.A. before very long. Oil consumption is increasing, and oil production will decrease (transportation for imports, rising fuel prices everywhere, costs go up).

Please note that it is rare to find a traditional "home ec" course being taught in the High Schools, heaven forbid a child learn from their mother or grandmother at this point how to sew a garment. Textiles, are dead here. I can not even find reasonably priced socks that I like that are domestically made.

If textiles is going to come back, it will have to employ people that are already here picking our fruit and vegetables... for slave wages.
