Plainfield Beth Wilhelm, Family and Consumer Sciences, Plainfield High School I did this project last year in my Family and Consumer Sciences Advanced Fashion and Textiles classes. I took the students to a Goodwill store. They had to make two items: one to wear and one to use. But the fun thing was, they had to pick something that was a clothing item and make it into a useable item and vice versa. One student turned a shirt into a waterproof tote bag with lining. It was very cute.
