I fail to see what weed control fabric has to do with making clothes.
before machine made synthetic fabric there was no weed control fabric used.
Prior to mechanical looms to make fabric people used hand looms.


Ah but wasn't the inventor Sir Walter Raleigh whose cloak was left on
the ground after old Bess trod on it and thereby clearing that patch
from weeds for sometime?
