ADVICE

Home Economics: Fashion & Textile Technology: Organisation of Practical Skills (Acc 3/Int 1) 1


HOW THIS UNIT COULD BE DELIVERED

This package is written to allow a number of different methods of delivery:

•

The unit can be used to teach a composite class of Acc 3 and Int 1 students or each level separately.

•

The tasks given are suggested tasks and have been planned to enable integration with other units in this course, with little adaptation.

Developing Craft Skills in Textiles

Design and Make

•

Alternatively, the unit can stand alone and the student sheets can be used with alternative tasks.

•

To assist student understanding of the process involved, an induction that involves one training task is suggested. The teacher will direct the students through the process from planning to production. Worked examples are given in the student booklet.

This process is an introduction to the unit, Design and Make, and to the skills needed for the Technological Project at Int 2 and Higher.

• for purposes of assessment, students working at:

ACCESS 3 must:

•

•

• achieve all Outcomes on 2 separate occasions complete tasks involving at least 5 components complete tasks involving at least 5 processes.

INTERMEDIATE 1 must:

• achieve all Outcomes on 3 separate occasions

• complete tasks involving at least 5 components

• complete tasks involving at least 8 processes.

Sets of student sheets are provided in the Student Book to accommodate these assessment criteria.


SUGGESTED EDUCATION INDUSTRY/COMMUNITY LINKS

(These are suggestions. Available links will depend on local resources)

•

National Childbirth Trust

Local groups might be willing to come into school with children of different ages.

This could aid students in designing and planning fabric items to suit children of various ages.

• local playgroups

These could be used in the same context, or as ‘clients’ for the fabric items made.

• local textile shops

They could be used to give information on the properties and suitability of different fabrics for the tasks to be undertaken.

• the Early Learning Centre

Their pack and catalogues could be used as stimulus material for students designing toys and equipment. The pack gives details of the different stages of child development. (Address given in Resources Section)

• student’s family

Fabric items could be made for these ‘clients.’

• local sports clubs/community centre

These groups could be used to provide a context for students to design fabric items for various sporting/leisure activities


NOTES ON USE OF LESSON PLANS

The lesson plans given are suggested plans and the number of lessons allocated to each task will depend on your period length (eg 15 x 80 min or 21 x 55min) Dates are left blank to allow you to do your own planning.

The suggested allowance for the Unit is 20 hours which allows for the following.

Textile Related Tasks

Training Task: planning, production and evaluation (3 x 80)

Each Task planning production and evaluation

(1 x 80)

(3 x 80)

Possibly three tasks to be done, giving a total time (15 x 80)

NOTES

1.

Consideration should also be given to integrating the work with other units in the course:

•

•

•

•

Design and Make

Practical Fabric Skills

Developing Craft Skills in Textiles

Introduction to the Fashion and Clothing Industry

The tasks have been devised to allow integration and this would increase the time allowance available.

2.

The inclusion of the Extension Exercise, evaluating against a specification is intended to prepare students for the Design and Make Unit by introducing the concept of a specification. This exercise may be omitted if Design and Make is not part of your course at Int 1. The Design and Make unit is mandatory at

Acc 3.

• be personalised

•

• use at least five components use at least eight processes

•

I used fabric paints to put my name on the front of the bag

• using fabric, thread, velcro, stiffener and fabric paints.

• using ten different processes

Teacher Comment

The finished bag was made to a pattern I drafted. The simple design was well constructed and fabric paints were used to good effect on the front of the bag to personalise it. The choice of fabric was appropriate as it is hard wearing and washable.

Thread

Equipment:

Overlocker

Sewing machine

Iron and board

Scissors

Pins

Instructions

1.

Measure the length and depth of the phone. Double this measurement and add 4 cm to the total. Measure the breadth of the phone.

2.

Cut a piece of fabric the total length and breadth you need. You may want to curve the 4 cm overlap at one end of the piece of fabric.

3.

You now need to neaten the edges. There are 3 ways you can do this.

Overlock all round the edge of the fabric.

For a different finish you might want to do the edge with bias binding.

Cut out 2 pieces of fabric the same size, but add 1 cm all round to the size of your original measurments. They need not be the same fabric. Place the 2 pieces of fabric with right sides together and cross-pin all the way round, leaving a gap.

Machine all the way round 1 cm from the edge and remember not to stitch over the gap. Reverse at the start and end of your stitching. Trim the edges then turn the fabric to have the right sides out. Press neatly.

4.

You could decorate the fabric at this stage using a computerised sewing machine, some fabric paints or some hand embroidery.

e.g.


5.

Carefully measure where the elastic has to go on the

2 sides of the phone case. Cut the elastic into 4 pieces.
