Wow! This video is really proves that we can use things around us to make many things. In this case, clothes.I think the part that was the real shock was the fact that green tea, sugar, a few microbes, and time can make clothes. Another cool fact is that the microbes can spin threads. This may be the new silkworm.
Wow! Growing your own clothing? That video is amazing! I never thought that would be possible. The main problem is that it is not water resistant, but I am sure that can be fixed. I liked the indigo coat. TI was really cool that it only takes on e dip to get that deep of a color. The material does not look like it would absorb liquids, but it does! That is so cool! The clothes designer said that we might be able to grow houses. I wish we COULD grow houses. It would end the problem of homeless people...
Nate, but what if it rained? Would the house just melt around them? I think the most important part of this concept would be to waterproof the fabric. I like the nanotech concept of making it hydrophobic, though. Maybe we could weave those small hydrophobic fibers into the final product.
Wow! This is so cool! You can actually make your own clothes! The most unusual thing about this is that they make bags out of cow! I never knew that! All I knew is that they made it out of alligator's skin and ostrich's skin.
This is so futuristic! Who would know that you could GROW your own clothes out of just sugar, green tea and microbes! It is a very efficient way of using what naturally grows around us, but maybe after the cloth is fully formed, they can put a water-resistant layer over it because I don't think anyone would buy a rain jacket that isn't water-proof! I wonder how they discovered growing clothes. Maybe it was an accident...
This article was really cool! It also talks about Fermentation which is perfect for our bacteria unit. It is very cool how she can dye the clothing to make it lots of different colors and designs.
Luca, if they found a way to be able to grow concrete or something that is water proof, than it would be fine. They probably could just spray something like Kevlar on clothes to make them waterproof, but it might damage them. The fermentation thing really ties in with our bacteria unit. I think it's really cool how you can pretty grow fabrics! I bet though, that there could be a spider or something that could spin fabric. This is so cool!
That is so cool! I never knew that you could grow your own clothes. It's also cool that you can dye them and make them without using anything un-natural. They also are biodegratable so you could outgrow a jacket and then make another one with the same jacket.
This video is so cool. It's amazing how you can use so many things for so many substances. This may be the next big thing. If more people help her create waterproof materials, this could become more popular than cotton. It's cheaper, faster, and better. This population could be wearing only bacteria made clothes in ten years.
Gillian, why would it be a better thing for this technology to become more popular then cotto?. The price of the materials could grow to record amounts if the demand rises but the supply stays the same. This shows that it might be more economical to stick with our current materials. Going with the new way to make cloths would mean that multiple cloth producing companies would go out of business and unemployment would go up. From my perspective, the grow your own cloths idea will make the world worse instead of better if it is industrialized.
This was so cool! I never knew this was possible! I think it fits with our bacteria unit very well because it is all about bacteria and fermentation. I think that if they find a way to make it water resistant then we can where it as everyday wear which is so cool!
This video is awesome! I wonder if there is actually a way to make the bacteria-grown cloths actually waterproof, or if bacterial can't do that. If we could make the clothes waterproof, we wouldn't end the problem of homeless people, we could supplement this for other things, like rain ponchos (the cheap kind that you use instead of an umbrella), tents, and any kind of fabric you wanted. This could also be a supplement for plastic in some cases. There's so many things that are plastic in our lives, that if you can supplement that for something that is easier to produce, that would make a huge environmental impact.
That is amazing! It even goes with our unit with the bacteria. These clothes have so many good qualities! It would be so cool if we could grow things other than clothes. If only they could fix the problem about the water resistance. Otherwise this material is awesome. This just proves that we can use the things around us to help with daily living. Who would have thought that green tea could be a major part in making clothes? It is ironic that these clothes are not water resistant. They look so much like rain ponchos! I hope there is a way to make these clothes water proof because they are so cool and would be extremely useful. It is so creative how the material is made.
This woman is really smart. These bacteria clothes are really good. If we can figure out a way to make it water proof this could become more popular than cotton, although cotton probably gives more warmth. The bacteria clothes are faster to grow, easier to die, and cheaper to grow. In cotton it takes about half a year with bacteria it takes half a month. If we can make this warmer, waterproof, and light, this could be the future in fashion.
This video was very interesting. We used fermentation to make yogurt, and she used fermentation to make clothes. I thought that it was very interesting that with cotton, it takes a lot of dips in indigo to get a dark color, but it only takes one short dip with the bacteria clothes.
The fabric-spinning spider is a good idea, maybe we could use plasmids or something to alter the spider's genes. Then we could harvest them as we do with silk worms.

That is so cool! And it also ties in perfectly with our current unit.
