AIMS AND OUTCOMES
By the end of the 5 week course, your child will have made a unique roll up pencil case using two different fabrics of their choice, with individual pockets for stationery, and a ribbon to tie it shut. We will be using half a metre of a cotton / polyester / polycotton sheeting or poplin type fabric in prints and plain colours.
During the course, your child will learn:
How to use a pattern (template) and understand the specialist markings and symbols
How to use the sewing machine and different tools and equipment used in sewing
Increase their confidence using a sewing machine, setting the dials and selecting the best stitch settings, and how to solve common problems
How to use interfacing to add structure to textile products

How to top stitch to add patch pockets
To think logically-assembling various fabric pieces in a sequenced order
