Shannon writes in with a trip to a fabric mill to share:

I thought you might enjoy pics from my recent trip to a fabric mill. I’m interning with an organic textile and wallpaper company and I got to take a field trip to the mill where our fabrics are finished (they are printed at a different location).

A very cool thing about visiting a mill is that they sell “seconds,” that is printed fabric that has some kind of imperfection so the designer rejects it. Seconds are sold at significantly reduced prices $10 - $16/yard for fabric that would sell for $60/yard and up usually. It’s a great way to get a deal on fabric.
