how is clothing made?

Thread is made by twisting and pulling on fibers (cotton, silk, polyester). Once the thread is made, the thread is woven.
"The major steps in the manufacture of clothes are four: first to harvest and clean the fiber or wool; second, to card it and spin it into threads; third, to weave the threads into cloth; and, finally to fashion and sew the cloth into clothes."
The "warp" is chased through by a bobbin that forms the "grid" of cloth. Cloth is cut to specific shapes and then joined by more threads being "sewn".
Try some of these words in google and get more information...

Cotton (or any other fiber) is spun to make thread. The little fibers are pulled and twisted to make bigger, continuous ones. These threads, once made, are woven into fabrics (like sheets).

think back to sleeping beauty - the spindle thats how thread is made - then the thread is woven on a loom and that is how fabric is made
