This is a badge bit (BB) that is part of the PEM curriculum.  Completing this BB is part of getting the wood badge in Textiles.

Now that we're getting a bit more advanced in our textiles experiences, let's make clothes starting with the natural raw material.  

Minimum requirements:
 - Start with the prepared fiber or animal skin and turn it into yarn, fabric or leather
 - Create two short-sleeved or sleeveless shirts.  Options include:
     - Sewn from woven cloth
     - Sewn from leather
     - Knit/crochet using finer yarn

Provide proof of the following as pictures or video (<2 min):
 - Processing the material
 - Creating the shirts
 - Somebody wearing the finished items showing that they are a reasonable fit
