Fashion students get creative with bed linen

Pillowcases have been at the centre of a new fashion project at one high school, it has been revealed.

According to the Windsor Star, students at Riverside high school have been involved in the scheme to create summer styles for the children of Mozambique.

However, they have not been given the usual materials to carry out the task, as instead they are expected to make what they can out of bed linen.

"You simply cut them up, sew them, and the pillow cases become sundresses," Trevor Klundert, student success teacher at Riverside told the paper.

He added that the students will be heading over to Mozambique to build a school in the summer and will be taking the dresses with them to distribute among children.

It was recently revealed that members of a community in Pittsburgh had given 40 students beds for the first time in their lives in an act of extreme kindness.
