Fabric+Technology

FABRIC TECHNOLOGY WITH MRS WHITE WELCOME TO FABRIC TECHNOLOGY FOR 20I3 HOPE YOU BRING YOUR CREATIVITY AND WILLINGNESS TO HAVE A GO!! WEEK ONE WE WILL BE LOOKING AT HOW WE CONDUCT OURSELVES IN A TECHNOLOGY ROOM. I WANT TO FIND OUT WHAT YOU ALREADY KNOW ABOUT FABRIC AND USING A SEWING MACHINE. ALL STUDENTS WILL BE GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO USE A SEWING MACHINE IN THE FIRST SESSION.

Hello and welcome to what we are doing in Session 2.
 * This session students will be practicing sewing seams.
 * This will be done through the construction of a Mobile Phone Cover.
 * We will be cutting out a pattern for our cover, using a ruler and and scissors.
 * Then the fabric will be chosen and the fabric shape cut out.
 * Then the construction of the cover will take place.

I do expect this will take 2 sessions and will include discussions on ideas for what students want to create for themselves. It will be necessary to be aware of the skill level and decide up their creation according to their ability and how much time and effort prepared to be put into it outside of school.

There will be paperwork to support this unit to help and guide students through the process.

Look out for photos being posted soon.

Thanks for using this site

TERM 3 Hello and welcome to Term 3

Term One and Two were extremely busy terms. We now have volunteers that assist and support me most days and this make for time I can spend on this site now. We had a very exciting time the last 2 terms making all sorts of things from neck pillows to more complex craft boxes and toys. We all have had a rush to finish with some still needing to complete. Students were both surprised and amazed at how long it takes to create and complete items making them realise the time and effort that goes into all things made. Photos show some of the results. The next 2 terms are opportunities for new students to create what they want. We are heading into 4th session and students will need to have completed work on what they want to make. Be prepared to conference with Teacher to discuss what they are doing and what will be needed. Looking forward to returning to work after a fall and hoping for a healthy Term 3 & 4. Term 3 has started well with some amazing sewers. We are now moving into the next couple of sessions doing teacher briefs. This is where the students have brainstormed what they want to make and made some decisions and a short initial plan. Once I have sorted and gone shopping for what will be needed then the students will be underway. Meantime they will be learning to follow instructions with diagrams and initial demonstrations. Students will be expected to completed their pin cushion cube supporting each other and using their problem solving skills.
