Contents of the wardrobe

Study the content of your own wardrobe. What do you see? Consider whether you have unnecessary clothes that you are willing to let go of. Are there any damaged pieces of clothing you can repair? How can you recycle the clothing that you no longer use?
  

• Choose three items of clothing from your wardrobe:
  • a high-quality item you use
    • Explain what makes it high quality. 
  • a damaged item of clothing in need of repair
    • Consider how it can be repaired and used again. 
  • an item of clothing that you can utilise as material for another product
    • Design a new product or item of clothing from an old item of clothing. 

Prepare a presentation of the clothing, your choices and the alterations to the clothing. Include photos and explain the reasons for your choices and the alterations.
