Join us for a fascinating conversation with Diana and Justin of Raspberry Creek Fabrics, who found an innovative solution to this all-too-common problem. From their humble beginnings as a small Etsy shop to their thriving custom fabric printing business, we learn how technology has revolutionized the textile industry and made it easier for anyone to create unique, personalized fabric.<br/><br/>But what about the impact on the environment? We tackle the challenges of sustainability in the fashion industry, discussing waste and cost factors associated with large-scale fabric printing, while exploring the benefits of print-on-demand and custom printed fabric.
