Textile finishing is like decorating a cake after you bake it. A lot of work goes into making a cake taste good, but it doesn't look as fancy until you add frosting and decorations.
Similarly, when fabrics are made, they often look plain and not very interesting. But, through the process of textile finishing, different techniques can be used to make them look nicer, feel softer or smoother, be waterproof or fire-resistant, and more.
One way to finish textiles is by polishing them with a machine that uses heat and chemicals to give them a shiny look. Another way is by adding a layer of wax or oil to make them water-resistant.
There are also many other techniques used in textile finishing that involve dyeing, washing, and ironing the fabric. It's like using different colors, shapes, and sizes of decorations on a cake.
By the end of the textile finishing process, fabrics can become special and unique, just like how a cake looks special and unique with its decorations.
