Lesson 1:
I will learn in this project:
Designing a range of ideas using a brief.
Learn about different types of textiles.
Joining materials using hand and machine sewing .
Safety when sewing.
Making a product using recycling materials.
How to join fabrics using the weave and pattern.
Safety is most important when sewing.
Look at the picture below and find at least ten hazards. Explain why they are hazards.
Task: Number the ten unsafe things you found and then write them and the rule to rectify them in your book.
Lets look at fabrics:
Brief:
Design and make a decorated phone sleeve for your phone to keep it looking like new. Your sleeve must be easy to be recognised as your own.
Situation:
There are different types and makes of phone covers on the market. Because they are mass produced they all look similar in style and design. I am going to design a unique sleeve for my _____________ phone which has the dimentions _______mm high, _________mm wide and ______mm thick. I will most probably decorate it using the following techniques ___________
Task 1:
Analyse, using a diagram, the function of the phone sleeve. (Do this on the top half of the blank page.) Give at least 8 points.
Lesson 2:
Task :
Watch and listen to the power point below and identify the two main types of fabric and the different sources of fabric. Give an example of each. (Use the guide below)
Type of Fabric Source: Example
Wool Sheep, goats Jumpers, carpets

Fibres and fabrics
All textiles products are made from fabrics.
Fabrics are made from fibres (small hair strands)
This diagram shows how fibres are made into fabrics:

Task :
Watch the video to identify different methods of joining fabrics together without a sewing machine. Draw these on the blank page of our book and label them clearly.

Task :
Look at the picture you were given. Label the missing parts of the sewing machine. Discuss the function of each part.

Designing the Product
Draw at least 4 different annotated and coloured design ideas for your product. You can use Scamper (see below) to help you develop ideas. Evaluate two of your ideas by adding three good points and then two poins for improvement. Ask a friend to evaluate one idea for you and write their opinion down.

Lesson 3
Before we design the final idea, lets look at SUSTAINABILITY
Sustainability:
What is sustainability?
The underlying idea behind sustainability is that we can use resources indefinitely. The materials that we use should be:
Renewable – made from plant sources that we can re-grow
Recycling – Made from materials that we can recycle over and over again

Final design and Planning
Draw the final design on a new blank page. Make sure to label everything and to add some colour. Make a template to show how you will make your product and to work out the correct size.
Remember a seam allowance!

Diary of making
Keep a diary of how you use your time and how the product progresses. Plan what you want to achieve next.

Evaluation:
Do a final evelution of your finished product using ACCESS FM. Take a photo of your product to paste on the blank page next to the evaluation.

ACCESS FM EXPLAINED:
AESTHETICS: What the product looks like? The colours, shape and reasons why people will like it. Does it have a good quality finish? What inspired the idea?
COST: The cost of the time you used, the cost of the materials. Why does the product cost so much to hand make. Is the product affordable? Is it good value for money?
CUSTOMER: Who it is made for. Why they would like it. Why they would buy and use it? How would it make life better for them? How and where would they use it?
ENVIRONMENT: Where did you make it? Where will you use it? What will happen to it when people do not need it any longer? Think about: Rethink, Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Refuse. What is its life-cycle?
SAFETY: Why is you product safe to use. What have you done when making it to work safely? Are all the parts safe to use? Why?
SIZE: What size is it and why is it that size? Is the product comfortable to use? Would it look better if you made it bigger or smaller? Is the size appropriate for its use?
FUNCTION: How does it work? Why does it work that way? How will the customer use it? Is it easy to use?
MATERIALS AND TOOLS: What is the product made from? What other materials could have been used? What impact will the material have on the environment? Which tools did I use?
