How Sri Sakthi Textiles Became the Top Choice for Cotton Fabric in Erode?
Tumblr media
In the bustling textile hub of Erode, there’s a place where quality meets tradition Sri Sakthi Textiles. Decades ago, this family-run business began with a single mission: to craft the finest cotton fabric for people across India and beyond. Word spread quickly as Sri Sakthi Textiles earned a reputation for quality and reliability, becoming the go-to source for cotton fabric in Erode.
As the business grew, so did their collection. The team introduced modal fabric, a soft and sustainable choice that quickly became a favorite among fashion designers looking for that unique blend of comfort and elegance. Soon after, they added linen fabric, perfect for those seeking a breathable, natural look that’s as stylish as it is timeless.
Each roll of fabric tells a story of craftsmanship and care, woven with the dedication that Sri Sakthi Textiles has stood by for generations. Today, designers, artisans, and businesses from all over trust Sri Sakthi Textiles to provide the very best. They know that every fabric—from cotton and modal to linen—is crafted with love and a commitment to excellence, making it an ideal choice for anyone looking to bring their creations to life with a touch of authenticity.

Sustainable Fabric Supplier: Pioneering the Green Revolution in Textiles
In a world where environmental consciousness is no longer a buzzword but a way of life, the textile industry is undergoing a remarkable transformation. Sustainable and eco-friendly fabrics are at the forefront of this revolution, and finding the right sustainable fabric supplier is crucial for businesses committed to making a positive impact on the environment. In this blog, we will delve into the world of sustainable fabrics, the role of a sustainable fabric supplier, and how this industry is driving the green revolution.

3. *Tencel and Modal*: These fabrics are produced from sustainably sourced wood pulp, often from eucalyptus and beech trees. The closed-loop production process minimizes waste and water usage. 4. *Recycled Fabrics*: These include textiles made from recycled plastic bottles or post-consumer textiles, reducing the need for virgin resources. 5. *Khadi*: Khadi is handspun and handwoven fabric, and its production supports traditional craftsmanship and rural livelihoods. 6. *Peace Silks*: Also known as Ahimsa silk, these are produced without killing silkworms, making them a cruelty-free alternative.
Tumblr media
The Role of a Sustainable Fabric Supplier A sustainable fabric supplier plays a critical role in bridging the gap between environmentally conscious businesses and the growing demand for sustainable textiles. Here are some key responsibilities of a sustainable fabric supplier: Curating a Diverse Range of Sustainable Fabrics One of the primary responsibilities of a sustainable fabric supplier is to offer a wide variety of eco-friendly textiles. This ensures that businesses can find fabrics that align with their specific needs, whether it's for clothing, home textiles, or other applications. A diverse inventory of sustainable fabrics enables designers and manufacturers to make eco-conscious choices without compromising on quality or aesthetics.
Ensuring Transparency and Traceability Transparency is essential in the world of sustainable fabrics. A reputable supplier will provide detailed information about the sourcing and production of each fabric. This includes details about the cultivation, processing, and certification of the textiles. Transparency ensures that the fabrics meet the required environmental and ethical standards. Meeting Certification Standards Sustainable fabrics often come with certifications that validate their eco-friendliness. These certifications, such as Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS), OEKO-TEX, and Fair Trade, provide assurance that the fabrics are produced with minimal harm to the environment and fair labor practices. A reliable sustainable fabric supplier will stock fabrics with relevant certifications, making it easier for businesses to choose the right materials. Providing Custom Solutions Different businesses have different needs. A sustainable fabric supplier should offer customization options that allow businesses to tailor fabrics to their specific requirements. Whether it's custom colors, blends, or finishes, these options enable brands to create unique and sustainable products that resonate with their target audience.
Tumblr media
Supporting Sustainable Practices Collaboration with a sustainable fabric supplier is more than just a transaction. It's a partnership in supporting sustainable practices. Suppliers often work with manufacturers to ensure responsible production and offer guidance on reducing waste and optimizing processes. Sustainable Fabrics: A Game Changer for Fashion and Beyond Sustainable fabrics are not limited to a niche market; they are gaining momentum in the mainstream fashion industry. Brands are increasingly adopting sustainable textiles as consumer awareness about the environmental impact of fast fashion grows. Sustainable fashion is no longer a trend; it's a paradigm shift.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Choosing the Right Sustainable Fabric Supplier Selecting the right sustainable fabric supplier is a decision that can impact the trajectory of your business. Here are some factors to consider when evaluating potential suppliers: 1. Product Range:* Look for a supplier with a wide range of sustainable fabrics, so you have a variety of options to choose from. 2. Certifications:* Ensure the supplier's fabrics are certified by recognized organizations, as this provides assurance of their sustainability. 3. Transparency:* The supplier should be transparent about the sourcing and production of their fabrics. They should provide.Share

How to Build a Fabric Stash without Breaking the Bank
Fabric can be expensive but it doesn’t have to be.  If you are not stuck on Name Brands or Specialty Fabric Store Exclusives here are some ways to build your fabric stash without costing an arm and a leg. I have made many beautiful quilts using various fabrics from various supplies. And I believe that the quality is not just in the fabric you use but also in your stitch work and seams sizes. If your seams are less than a ¼” they will not hold (personally I prefer to use a ½” seam allowance). If you are not securing your thread ends, your stitch work is going to come undone. So be sure to watch these things too.
Look for fabric at your local Thrift Store (Goodwill, Value Village, etc.)
I have found some wonderful fabrics in various sizes, notions, storage items and more at my local Thrift Stores. I have even found unfinished quilt tops that I have brought home and added a backing to then quilted. Remember that almost any size fabric remnant can be added to other remnants to make some wonderful scrappy quilts so save your own remnants after making a quilt, you may be able to use it later in another quilt.
Look for local Fabric Sales held by Quilting Guilds in Your Area.
We have 2 near me every summer.One charges $2 per pound for any fabric. The second one charges $2 per yard for any fabric. Both also sell batting, notions, books, machines, tools, and more.
Look for fabric on Facebook Marketplace, Nextdoor and other sites.
I sell extra fabric on Marketplace and Nextdoor. I have also found several ladies near me selling fabric that I have purchased. And some I have purchased with shipping to me.
Look for older 100% Cotton Sheets at your local Thrift Stores.
Back in the 1800’s and early 1900’s, Quilts were not show pieces. They were real functional blankets that were made from any and all fabrics they could get, usually used clothing. I think there is no reason why we cannot still do that instead of buying expensive fabrics. I have often used clothing, sheets, curtains, and other linens to make some wonderful, usable quilts. And there are some wonderful patterns you can use for quilts in bedsheets from the 1980’s and 1990’s. Note: I always wash anything from a Thrift Store before I use it.
Watch for Fabric Sales and Coupons for Joanns, Hobby Lobby and other Fabric & Craft Stores.
I know some quilters believe that the fabric from Joanns & Hobby Lobby is poor quality but I have not found any bad fabric from these stores.  We do not have a “Quilting” store close to me and because I’m handicapped, I will not drive an hour or more just to buy expensive fabric.  If I did that, I wouldn’t be able to afford to quilt.  I will also buy fabric from Walmart but I am more careful with my selection there as most fabric at Walmart is good but I have had one or two pieces that I felt were poorer quality.
Watch for Fabric Sales and Coupons for your Local Quilt Shop.
Quilt shops will also have occasional sales and/or coupons so if you prefer to shop at these locations take notice of when they have sales. Also ask if they ever give discounts to seniors or military.
Use New or Older Clothing.
I have made a lot of beautiful Memorial Quilts from a loved one’s clothing and T-Shirt quilts. I will use jeans, work shirts, uniforms, flannel, cotton, polyester and even some knits.  These can be a little trickier to work with because they are often stretchy fabrics but they will add a wonderful texture and visual variance to your quilts.  I recently found a pair of cotton pants with Mickey Mouse on them. I fell in love with them because they were so colorful, and I love bold colors. I found several other cotton fabrics that matched the colors in the Mickey pants and made a bold colorful quilt!
Rethink Your Backing Fabric
No one ever said your quilt backing had to be all New Cotton. You can use Fleece, Flannel or Bed Sheets as well. On many occasions I have found some wonderful fleece blankets on clearance and used these for my quilt backing.  Joanns right now has a great clearance sale on Flannel fabric. The best part about using some of these is that you can get then in a wider width so you may be able to make your backing in all one piece instead of 2 or more like when using regular cotton (unless you want your backing to be in various colors/patterns).  You can also use new or older cotton bed sheets for a quilt backing. Again, you can make your quilt backing in one solid piece with a sheet!
Check the Clearance Section for Your Favorite On-Line Stores
I have several on-lines stores that I love to shop from (e-Quilter, Missouri Star, etc.) but sometimes they can be expensive so I always check the clearance section of these stores. There are times I will find some beautiful fabrics on clearance so will purchase it then look for matching piece everywhere else so I can get the best deals. Also check for on-line sales from Joanns, Hobby Lobby and other on-lines stores that sell fabric and/or sheets.
Check Out Your Local Garage, Moving and Estate Sales
I have found some of the best deals at moving and estate sales because often the seller is willing to bargain with you. I once found an estate sale where a family was selling off all their mother’s quilting and sewing items because she had passed away and none of then sewed. There was more fabric and notions than I would have used in a year so I found lots of thread and items I purchased at a great price.
Note on Batting
I know that many quilters believe that the only batting you should use is expensive cotton batting. I disagree.  There are many forms of batting. Cotton/Poly blends, Polyester, and Fleece. I love cotton batting but cotton will break down quicker than polyester and I want my quilts to last a lifetime so for most of my quilts I actually use Polyester more often than not. I have taken the backing off many older quilts to do repair work and the cotton batting inside was all balled up and a real mess.
Now when I am doing the Quilt-as-you-Go method I use a Fleece batting. The fleece can be cut into smaller pieces, fabric added to the top and then sewn back together to make wonderful quilts. And the batting doesn’t get stuck in my machine.
Shop Around for your batting to find the best deals. Sometimes Joanns has a sale on batting but the best price I have found so far has been Walmart on-line.  I can buy a 96” x 9 yard Bolt of Poly Batting for just $30 on Walmart on-line. This bolt will make 4+ quilts depending on the size of the quilt and I will have lots of left overs for smaller projects like pillows, etc.  For me the best part is that because it’s 96” wide, I don’t have to piece together my batting before I can sandwich my quilt!

So, I felt like sewing today.
I remembered I had a piece of curtain that I intended to turn into a t-shirt, I found it in a thrift store for 50 cents and thought how I would really like a shirt with this pattern! It's a very old, woven piece of fabric, made out of pure cotton, and it's very strong and durable, and not transparent at all, with pretty blue leaves and berries on it.
I looked trough all of the t-shirts I own, and found this purple one had a very interesting collar, and I liked the way it looked on me, so I decided to duplicate that same shirt.
If I was really wanting to make it perfect, I'd make a pattern out of paper, then copy it to the fabric, then cut. But I just went straight to cutting, I feel like I can guesstimate this out.
Tumblr media
I've made a pajama shirt once, so I've learned that the hardest thing to make is the collar. I spent some time figuring out how to make a neat-looking collar this time, and it took me a few tries to overlapping this blue fabric on one side and the other before I figured it out. But I think this collar can work! I specifically used some stretchy fabric to make it easier on myself. Here's the recreation of the collar:
Tumblr media
I sewed the sides together, which was easy, and now the last, most annoying step, to make the sleeves, and to sew them on. Last time I sewed on the sleeves wrong 3 times in a row, I hope this time to get it right slightly sooner.
I realized at this point that the sleeves would look the best if I put the same collar-type ending on them, and it was soo annoying, I am doing this with needle and thread, and my technique required sewing it twice. So I was annoyed. The sleeves were also slightly poofy in the original, so I made sure to add a slight poof to them here as well. It felt like I spent an hour doing each one, but when they were done, they looked so good, I don't regret putting in the extra effort.
I actually managed to put the sleeves on correctly on the first try, which was a huge relief. And she's done!
Tumblr media
I'm actually a bit surprised that it doesn't even look that hand-made, it seems the neat collar makes it look like a real shirt. I can actually wear this outside, and fulfill my dreams of looking like a 90s curtain! It feels so very good on my skin though, it's light-colored so it's great for the sunny weather, it will not easily wear out or fall apart because it's woven! That is an actual non-transparent, durable white shirt, something you can't get that easily anymore. It took me about 7 hours to make by hand.
Also if you're wondering why I couldn't tidy up my bed the whole time I was doing this. Well. I had priorities and also I am being honest on the internet about living in a messy bed. It would have been lying if I had tidied it up :) (And to be extra honest it's just a mattress on the floor, I migrate to the floor sometimes.)

📢 Unlocking the power of scrolling! A few days ago I’ve discovered an incredible project by chance on instagram - These images campaign (which I absolutely ADORE) were shot for the ‘Cotton, Our Pride’ project, promoted by the Ethical Fashion Initiative - In celebration of ‘World Cotton Day’, 10 African designers were invited to create unique pieces from the fabrics produced by the EFI’s network in Benin, Burkina Faso and Mali. Each designer was supported by the EFI at every stage of the process, from the choice of fabrics to the finalization of the collections - this approach has strengthened a deep connection between hashtag#designers and hashtag#artisans, elevating both hashtag#craft and hashtag#culture. Sustainability is inclusive, human-centered, and deeply creative. But first, let me say: SUSTAINABILITY IS COOOL 🔥

Does anyone have any recommendations for easy beginner sewing projects, specifically for simple clothes? (preferably items so simple you can draft it yourself or there's a free pattern available)
I'm trying real hard to break out of my decision paralysis

Do I need more clothes? No, probably not.
Tumblr media
But I've got all these squares now. And I did math and adjusted my skirt pattern. And the bodice pieces are already cut out.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And, and... I would have to turn these into an actual quilt if I don't, and I'm pretty much out of materials to do that.

Quilts
Quilting has a long history that can be traced back to ancient civilizations. The earliest known evidence of quilting is an ivory carving of the Pharaoh of the Egyptian First Dynasty, which dates to around 3400 BC.
A quilt is decorative textile, often used as a bedspread, made by stitching together a top, middle, and bottom layer of fabric.
Quilts are practical and beautiful bed blankets that keep you warm on cold nights. Some Quilts are works of art that can be hung on a wall for display. The Tristan Quilt (14th century), made in Sicily, is one of the earliest surviving examples of a decorative quilt. 
But Quilts can also be so much more!
Quilts can be loving memories of someone we lost, of our past, of family and can tell a story.
Quilts can be a tribute to our life's work or military service.
Quilts can be a security blanket and support for a frightened child or the sick.
Quilts can be used on windows or doors as draft stoppers like tapestries of old.
Quilts can be used as tents or forts for children's play time.
Quilts can be beautiful, unique gifts for someone else or yourself.
Quilts can be made into practical garments such as jackets, capes & skirts. (Crusaders in the Medieval Days, wore quilted garments under their armor)
Quilts can be used to recover upholstered furniture like stools & chairs.
Prior to the development of the sewing machine, quilting was always done by hand, sometimes with a long running stitch or by hand tying. Women would get together to hold a "Quilting Bee", a group to help complete the hand stitching of a large quilt. Quilts were traditionally made from cotton and when times were tough people would turn old clothing into quilts.  The original Reuse, Repurpose, and Zero Waste! 
In today’s world, some will try to tell you that Quilts should only be made from Top Brand Quilting Cottons but really Quilts can be made from almost any fabric: cotton, polyester, wool, flannel, t-shirts, uniforms, etc.

That post about using cotton thread for garment making drives me up the wall. Cotton thread fucking sucks. It’s not durable at all for every day clothing use. The only projects that you should be using cotton thread for 100% of the time is for things that are going to be exposed to high heat (ex. microwave cozies and pot holders) because it’s crucial that you use something that won’t melt. If you’re making clothes or costumes just use polyester. It’s fine. You’ll be fine.

“Discover: Types of Loom in Textile Manufacturing”
Tumblr media
Loom? What are They? What Do They Manufacture?
Looms is the weaving machine which converts the yarn into a fabric. There is no history of when looms were discovered but one thing is clear that it was before the birth of Jesus christ. There are 2 types of looms: Shuttle Looms and Shuttleless Looms. Below we are going to learn about various types of looms. The end result of this machine is fabric and wholesalers and retailers buy t-shirts in bulk made out of those fabric.
Learn About Shuttle Looms 
This is the most primitive loom in the history of loom. In this machine there is a shuttle which contains bobbins and around bobbins there are yarn wounded. In this weaving machine the shuttle travels from one corner to the other and hence the fabric is made. The speed of this machine is 110-225 ppm [Picks Per Minute]. It is quite noisy and inefficient. 
Fabric Weaving Without a Shuttle in the Loom Is It Possible?
Projectile Loom
Projectile loom is a shuttleless loom, in this looms instead of a shuttle projectile are there. Projectiles are made out of stainless steel and hence it was light weight. As the projectile lightweight this saves lots of energy and increases the efficiency of the machine. This loom speed was 300 ppm. The weaving takes place when the projectile goes across the width of the loom with the yarn. 
Rapier Loom
This loom is also shuttleless. In this loom the weft is carried by a rapier which is a long rod like structure. Many kinds of fabric could be made using this loom and it is highly efficient. The range of GSM things loom could weave is 20-850 GSM. From home fabric to industrial fabric can be made using this loom. There are 4 types of rapier loom in the market. 
Single Rigid Rapier Loom
Double Rigid Rapier Loom 
Double Flexible Rapier Loom
Telescopic Rapier Loom  
Air-Jet Loom 
In this loom the yarn is transferred from the force of air, it does not have any shuttle. This loom is highly efficient and versatile. This loom does not make noise because it does not have many moving parts. As the moving parts are less then the floor space requirement and maintenance is low. The weft travels with the help of air pressure and once it reaches the shedding area interlacement takes place. This machine can be used in manufacturing Denim fabric, polyester dress material and cotton shirting fabric. 
Water Jet Loom
Water pressure is used in this loom to transfer weft from one end to the other. It is a shuttleless loom machine. The speed of this machine is 600 ppm. This machine is highly efficient but we can use yarn which is hydrophobic, like polyester, polyamides etc. Hydrophilic yarn can not be used.
