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 something that covers your bottom half.   It can be long pants/trousers, jeans, overalls, a long skirt, or a long dress.

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 or leather
  - Sew long pants/trousers, jeans, overalls, a long skirt, or a long dress
 
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 or hide
  - Processing the material into fabric or leather
  - Sewing the long pants/trousers, jeans, overalls, a long skirt, or a long dress
  - The finished item on a body

 
 
Story like this gets better after being told a few times. Or maybe it's just a tiny ad:
Switching from electric heat to a rocket mass heater reduces your carbon footprint as much as parking 7 cars
