The Clothes Line offers a detailed example of the people
who play a part in making the clothes we wear and traces the development
of a finished garment from the cotton in the field to a UK shop.
In particular this material supports the teaching of English, History
and Geography/Local Studies.
For further information on cotton, trade and Fair Trade issues
see the background information for teachers.
These pages have been adapted from Oxfam's print publication, The
Clothes Line, which you can order
online.
