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 a short-sleeved or sleeveless shirt. This is probably a lighter-weight shirt than the long-sleeve shirt.  It can be sewn from woven cloth or knit/crochet using a finer yarn.

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/knit/crochet a short-sleeve or sleeveless shirt (pullover or with buttons)
 
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/knitting/crocheting the shirt
  - The finished shirt on a body

 
 
I've got no option but to sell you all for scientific experiments. Or a tiny ad:
