Okay, fabrics and math...
Take a ruler and a magnifying glass as your starting tools.
Select three different swatches of fabric.
On each one mark out a square with a ball point pen that is 1 inch by one inch. Cut out the square and then count the number of threads along one side (write that down) and the number of threads along the other side (write that down). So you now know the number of threads per square inch if you add one to the other.
You could do that for each of your sample cloth swatches and make statements about each of them regarding their thread count per square inch.
You could then expand that idea into the number of threads in a bolt of each type of cloth 50 feet long.
Take the width in inches that your three bolts of cloth come in. For each bolt, take the number of threads per inch and multiply that by the width in inches. That is the
number of threads in the width of the bolt.
Next, Take 50 feet and multiply that by 12 (inches per foot) and again by the number of threads in the one inch swatch length (write down this big number).
the total number of threads in your 50 foot bolt of cloth is then the number in the width plus the number in the length. i suspect this will be a pretty big number, so you can impress the audience.

That's quite an interesting project. Every business indeed is realted with math. Let's even a gift organza bag (Fabric bags for favor , wedding shower idearibbon ).
1) Size (Math) can hold or fillable how many favor candies.
2) Cost : Item cost, to sell it, need ads cost.
3) Profit : Math
if teacher prefer a fashion deisgn project, geometric issues can be involed (Math)
Best wishes to you

You could always take a tip from 'A Beautiful Mind' and try to find a mathematical explanation for why some ties are uglier than others. Maybe you could do a project on the works of M.C. Escher on ties, or other tesselating patterns?

It could involve the cost per square yard of the fabric and the amount of fabric needed to make the garment.
