Design Brief For our Year 9 Textile Technology
Project we are going to work as a team to design
and make an educational childrens book. We are
going to carry out a variety of research looking
at design considerations, learning and practicing
appliqué and quilting techniques, analysing
existing products and collecting fabric samples.
This research should help us to generate some
original ideas. After choosing our best idea we
will manufacture the book in textiles and create
flow charts to explain how to make it. We will
also carry out risk assessments to ensure that we
are working safely. Once our book is completed we
will test it and evaluate how successful it is.
