Atwood McIntosh, “At” to his friends, proudly wears one of his farm’s products: a 
Suede Fabric  cotton shirt, “grown and sewn” in South Carolina.

People loved the expensive— almost "regal"— look of this headboard and the softness of the velvet. It comes in a variety of jewel-tone and pastel colors, but only one size: full/queen.

(Plus, actual reviews suggest that it's really fit for just queen-sized mattresses.) Still, a nice option if you want a plush-looking headboard in a fun or unusual color.

Visit available business space in your city and determine where you will open your new fabric shop.

Be sure to choose a place that attracts the public and has adequate parking and parking lot lighting in case you decide to hold classes of an evening.

Hire a web designer to create an online e-commerce website for you so that your store can be selling fabric even during hours that you are not open for business.

Purchase fabric from fabric manufacturers and vendors. Research fabric manufacturers online to find reputable companies with a wide variety of fabrics.

Purchase sewing supplies, design patterns and items such as zippers, buttons and pins.

Purchase cash registers, fabric holders, display shelving and computer software including bookkeeping and invoicing software to track sales and daily earnings.

Fabric upholstered headboards are a relatively affordable way to add serious impact to the bedroom.

They automatically make a room softer and more inviting, are infinitely less expensive than full-blown beds, and are widely available in a range of styles. Here are ten favorites on the market right now.

From the time the cotton is picked on his Williamsburg County farm on McIntosh Road, to the time it gets back to him for distribution, the cotton has traveled just a little more than 500 miles, and never left the Carolinas.

After picking, the cotton travels a few miles up the road to Tri-County Gin in Salters. From there the cotton travels to Hill’s Spinning in Thomasville, N.C., where is it made into thread.

The Knitting Cotton Yarn  fibers then travel to White Plains Fabrics in Jefferson, where they are turned into fabric. From there the rolls are carried to Textile Piece Dye in Lincolnton, N.C., where they are dyed in an all-natural process.

Finally, the rolls of fabric and their collars and cuffs are made into shirts at Craig Industries in Lamar.
