need to be able to sew in order to contribute to the family income
and at the same time enjoy the satisfaction and joy of creating
and expressing individuality. Since greater skill is usually
required in the successful remodeling of an old garment, prob-
ably the pupil should do only very simple renovating. Those
pupils with a background of home experiences in sewing might
be permitted more difficult projects. It is advisable that all
pupils be made aware that refashioning of clothing is a thrift
practice worthy of their attention.
 The entire clothing area should be planned cooperatively
between teacher and pupils by using immediate problems as
teaching situations which may take place in the home, school,
and community.
