This badge bit (BB) is part of the PEP curriculum.  Completing this BB is part of getting the wood or iron badge in textiles.

This project starts with planting the seed and includes processing the fiber, weaving the fabric, and sewing long underwear.  The design can be a one-piece "union suit" or two pieces and is intended to keep you warm in cold weather.

Minimum requirements:
  - Plant the seed: either animal feed seed or a fiber seed like cotton or flax
  - Harvest the plant or animal material that came from those seeds
  - Process that material into yarn and fabric
  - Sew long underwear
 
To document completion of the BB, provide proof of the following as pics or video (< 4 min):
  - The seeds you are planting
  - The plants growing or animals eating the plants
  - Harvesting the plant or animal material
  - Processing the material into fabric
  - Sewing the long underwear
  - Wearing the finished item on a body
