The Prophets
predicted that the in the era of Mashiach plants would sprout amazing things
like clothes (30b verse 39). This is how: use DNA and logistics.
The idea is to manipulate plants; for example, by altering DNA codes in an
orderly way for what we need. DNA is something that both plants and animals have in common, and that if given the proper molecular machinery can make almost anything relative to life. This part of the idea may include breeding plants for specific traits.
Could we develop plants that make shirts, as is suggested in Shabbat 30b vs. 39? – Absolutely, and especially in a controlled environment. The key would be to manipulate select plants spatially in their growth, such as the logistics of size and placement, and then also genetically alter their flower designs to get the right stuff. The easiest way to start would be with easier weaves, and then progress to smaller and tighter fit weaves. For example, this strategy was also used in the progression of hard drive development in the case of computers. Computers hard drives with less information capacity came first before smaller and smaller hardware with more information capacity. And remember, the ancestors of Chihuahuas are the same as the ancestors of pit bulls.

Matters of learning'-what is that? — As R. Gamaliel sat and lectured, Woman is destined to bear every day, for it is said, the woman conceived and beareth simultaneously.34 But a certain disciple scoffed at him, quoting, 'there is no new thing under the sun.'35 Come, and I will show you its equal in this world,36 be replied. He went forth and showed him a fowl. On another occasion R. Gamaliel sat and lectured, Trees are destined to yield fruit every day, for it is said, and it shall bring forth boughs and bear fruit:37 just as the boughs [exist] every day, so shall there be fruit every day. But a certain disciple scoffed at him, saying, but it is written, 'there is no new thing under the sun!' Come, and I will show you its equal in this world, replied he. He went forth and showed him the caper bush.38 On another occasion R. Gamaliel sat and expounded, Palestine is destined to bring forth cakes and wool robes, for it is said, There shall be an handful of corn in the land.39 But a certain disciple scoffed at him, quoting, 'there is no new thing under the sun!' 'Come, and I will show you their equal in this world,' replied he. He went forth and showed him morels and truffles;40 and for silk robes [he showed him] the bark of a young palm-shoot.41
