Year 8 Textiles practical work

Here is just a small sample of the Year 8 drawstring bags students have made in their textiles lessons.

Students were given a design brief and specification asking them to design and make a zoo themed drawstring bag, which included two decorative textiles techniques, a fastening and be made from natural fabric.

They developed their skills on the sewing machine and learnt what a seam allowance is and why it is important in textiles products.
