Another bundle of sewing jobs is going south.
Tultex announced today it's closing its Roanoke sewing facility.
145 people will be out of work in mid-December.
The company is sending most of those jobs to Mexico -- where Tultex is now sewing nearly 95-percent of its clothes.
This announcement comes less than a month after Tultex said it would cut 800 jobs in a big move to save money.
The struggling company has been losing millions.
And its stock is trading at an all-time low of 28-cents a share.[(toss to R)]
