Cloth and clothing is something kids tend to take for granted. For Samhith, choosing a new dress is easy � just go to a shop, see what you like and pick it up. Considering his inquisitive bent of mind, it wasn�t long before the question came up � how are clothes made? One part was easy to explain � the stitching. For one, there are enough tailors around for him to know that cloth can be stitched in various ways, and thanks to my mom�s trusty old Singer Sewing machine, he also knows that we can stitch clothes at home! Also helpful was the fact that his uncle heads a garment manufacturing firm, and he was able to visit the factory and see how T shirts are made in bulk! However, the crux of the question remained � where does the cloth come from? How is the cloth made? Explaining about cotton and silk thread and weaving didn�t help much, and all I could do was wait for an opportunity to show him how cloth is woven.
