Over the course of six ready-to-teach lessons, children will design and make a drawstring bag for a chosen user. They begin by exploring textiles and how different materials are made, joined and used before learning and practising a range of hand-sewing and decorative techniques. Children then use a design brief and design criteria to design a drawstring bag and create a pattern piece before preparing, decorating and assembling their bag using hand-sewing techniques. In the final lesson, they evaluate their finished product against the original design brief and design criteria, reflecting on their learning and suggesting improvements for future designs.
Each lesson includes a detailed plan, a set of engaging and informative PDF slides for the teaching input, differentiated activity ideas and a range of printable resources to support your class with their independent learning.
A Knowledge Organiser is included with the complete series download, or is available to purchase separately.
