Year 10 Technology - Textiles

This course covers an introduction to the skills required to follow and execute a basic sewing pattern with assistance.
Students will learn basic construction skills, pattern reading, design illustration, researching design origins and technological modelling, how to sew stretch fabric using an overlocker, Japanese sashiko embroidery, heat press vinyl design and application, and fabric paints.
There will be the opportunity to enter design competitions toward the latter half of the year.

Beyond physical sewing skills, in this course students will investigate the following: identifying physical and functional attributes, how we show our identity through our use of clothing, introductions to the design cycle/process. 

Students will aim to complete one hoodie or sweatshirt with an applied design.
Once finished their hoodie or sweatshirt and book work, students are free to use their remaining time in this class to explore new techniques and make an unmarked garment of their choosing.
