Course Synopsis:

Textile Arts and Crafts 11 is a creative course that has been developed to further explore the world of Arts and Crafts through the use of different sewing techniques. It is a course that incorporates hand/machine/serger sewing and craft making techniques. Students are introduced to quilting, appliqué, hand and computerized machine embroidery, the making of stuffed animals/toys, and needlepoint. The student’s individual choice of crafts for personal, special occasion gifts and celebrations will vary according to difficulty, time, availability of materials and interest and they should be more detailed than those chosen for lower grade level Arts and Crafts courses.

Rationale: In this course students create and embellish a variety of projects for personal, home use or as gifts. Textile Arts and Crafts 11 provides an opportunity for those students interested in using the latest technology available in the Textiles field. Students learn to design and create projects on standard sewing machines and add detail to their finished projects with personalized computer embroidery lettering or designs. Finally, students will display their work to the public at their school and/or a designated community facility.

Organizational Structure:

Unit/Topic/Module Descriptions:

Unit 1:Overview - Appliqué Techniques Time – 20 hours

Students will become familiar with the techniques of machine and hand appliqué. They will begin by searching for and sketching their own designs to appliqué. The designs will be specific to the student’s personal choice of fabric, project theme and end product. After a design has been chosen, the student will receive instruction on various appliqué techniques and use of the standard sewing machine.
