Take an article of clothing made in a patterned fabric. Describe this fabric in your notebook, and write down all of the colors you could wear with it.
For this activity I chose a leopard print T-shirt with a criss cross opening in the back. I can wear this T-shirt with denim, black, brown, or white. I can dress it up for church by adding black leggings with a brown zip-up jacket. I can dress it down for school by wearing shortalls with the T-shirt. I can also put it with denim jeans to show in. With this shirt I can dress up or dress down.

In your notebook, describe one of your favorite brands of clothing. Tell why you like it.
My favorite brand of clothing is Peyton Bre. Their clothing is cute, comfortable, and affordable. They have dresses, rompers, jumpsuits, shirts, cardigans, capes, pants, and lots more. Peyton Bre is an online store with lots of bargains and deals. I will be shopping at Peyton Bre for as long as I can wear their clothing.
7 Activity Group 4-C
Try on a garment you wore last year. Notice how it fits. Is it still wearable? In your notebook, describe how your body has changed during the year?
For this activity I chose a romper. This romper is too short. When I lean forward or move my arms it pulls in the back. I’ve grown 2 inches since February and have also grown in my torso. For these reasons this outfit will go in the garage sale pile.
8 Activity Group 5-A
Look for different types of hangers in your house and in a store. In your notebook list the types and discuss their purposes. (This topic would be good for a demonstration.)
The different types of hangers that I found are wooden suit, pant/skirt, non-slip, notched plastic tubular, and plastic tubular. A wooden suit hanger keeps heavy coats and suits looking fabulous. I can use a pant/skirt hanger to hang dress pants, jeggings, and skirts on. A non-slip hanger will keep garments in place, such as dresses or dress pants. Notched tubular hangers can hold things with thin straps, such as a tank top. Plastic tubular hangers are good when you have shirts, jeans, and coats that need to be hung up.
9 Activity Group 6-C
Ask a family member or an adult for a scrap of white fabric. Choose a dark or bright-colored garment such as dark blue jeans, red sweatshirt, or bright green T-shirt that has never been laundered. Rub the white cloth against the colored garment. Check for any tinge of color on the white cloth. The transfer of color (dye) to the white cloth is called “crocking.” Not all dyes will crock. Next, wet the white cloth with water. Rub it again to check for wet color transfer. Record the results. Indicate the problems color transfer might present when you wear and care for the garment.
10 Activity Group 6-C
I chose denim jeans, a bright pink shirt, a burgundy long-sleeved shirt, and a navy blue shirt. The white cloth had color on it after I rubbed it on the denim jeans, when it was both wet and dry. All the other clothing dyes did not come off onto the white fabric. If you have denim jeans on with white undergarments, when you take the jeans off there would be a blue tinge on the undergarments. The same thing would happen if you sat on a light colored couch and had dark colored clothing on. There would be dark spots on the couch. If you wash whites and darks together the dark clothing would fade and dark spots would show up on the whites or the white clothes will look dingy.

12 Clothing Description
This year for my Consumer Clothing project I purchased a distressed denim jacket. I made my purchase online at Glamour Farms. I always enjoy shopping for my Consumer Clothing outfit. My shopping experience was a bit different this year. I usually go to a store to purchase an outfit, but this year I shopped online. I was also able to purchase my item from the misses selections. In the past I only shopped in the children’s sections.
I chose a denim jacket, because it is a very versatile item to add to my wardrobe. I can wear my jacket with many different articles of clothing I already have, including the mustard colored dress I paired it with. The jacket is 100% cotton and machine washable. This makes it very easy to care for.
I love the outfit I put together this year from items out of my closet and the new one I purchased. I paired the denim jacket with a mustard colored 70% rayon, 30% polyester, sundress. I accessorized my outfit with items from my closet including a straw crossbody purse, yellow earrings, and brown wedge sandals. This outfit would be good to wear to school, church, or out with friends.
