Course Synopsis:
Textile Arts and Crafts 11 is a creative course that has been developed to further explore the world of Arts and
Crafts through the use of different sewing techniques. It is a course that incorporates hand/machine/serger sewing
and craft making techniques. Students are introduced to quilting, appliqué, hand and computerized machine
embroidery, the making of stuffed animals/toys, and needlepoint. The student’s individual choice of crafts for
personal, special occasion gifts and celebrations will vary according to difficulty, time, availability of materials and
interest and they should be more detailed than those chosen for lower grade level Arts and Crafts courses.

Rationale: In this course students create and embellish a variety of projects for personal, home use or as gifts.
Textile Arts and Crafts 11 provides an opportunity for those students interested in using the latest technology
available in the Textiles field. Students learn to design and create projects on standard sewing machines and add
detail to their finished projects with personalized computer embroidery lettering or designs. Finally, students will
display their work to the public at their school and/or a designated community facility.
