Denim or as known as Jeans that you have in your cupboard right now is made from cotton fibre.   Do you know that? It comes from bale form after the harvest took place and it goes to the blowroom process in the factory to be opened, cleaned, and mixed all them together.   There are several types of cotton fibre in one bales. So the quality of the product later on is according to their types of fibre. After the blowroom process, the fibre will be sent to carding machine and during this process, the fibres will be more parallel, cleaned, and blended.   After blowroom and carding is combing (optional). Combing process occurred to straighten the hooks from the fibre and eliminate all the dust and short fibre so it become more clean and parallel. You will get a finer and high quality of yarn later.

    Do you know that we can make a shirt, skirt, sandal, or hat by using Abaca Fibre? Actually, abaca has their familiar name which is banana leaf. This is not similar as you see out from your house windows in Malaysia. In Philippines, they used to call it as Manila Hemp.   Abaca has a bit different compared to the banana leaf that we used to see in Malaysia. It is planted in humid areas including in the Philippines and East of Indonesia.   Besides, abaca is considered as the strongest of natural fibres because of the length of the fibre itself. That's why it is used in making a rope. The products of abaca fibre after several processes are shown below. We have several kind of products such as apparel, tea bag, rope, and household. Abaca also has been used for making the car interior.   So, its good for you to identify what type of fibre that it used to make your cloths. If you can imagine it.

I loved to draw, and sketch any new designs if I got any ideas. I felt glad to see that there were many of the designer's designs were the same as mine when I looked for the runaway. At least the way they thought was the same as mine. I didn't have an expert hand to sew like they did.   One of my teacher saw my designs, and he asked me to keep it up and make sure that I create a Muslim designs. Then I realize, I pleaded that it is not easy being a fashion designer because I need to meet the requirement of Islamic Law-I was in standart six at that time and there were only the western clothing pops on my mind.

  When we talk about green, the first picture in my head is Leaf. Why? Because it is green. How about when it comes to fashion, the green in the apparel. We call it as eco fashion.     Eco fashion is the cloths that are made from organics as raw materials. Cotton is one of the cellulose category that are grown without pesticides. Besides, the eco fashion is free from any of harmful chemicals and bleaches to colour fabrics or we call it as dyeing.   In addition, the eco fashion are always made from the reused and recycle fabrics. A high quality of fabric can be produced by the second hand of the fabrics. The cost will be much lower than the first one. Moreover, these eco fashion can be kept by a long period of time.   During my lesson in class, what did I see is, the plastic bottles that we used to recycle will be sent to the factory in China. In the factory, there were a lot of machines that took step by step to produce a new fabric. Its white and smooth. The
