We are designers!

Tuesday 18 June 2024

This half term in topic, we are designers.

We’re going to be design, making and evaluating a pouch! Year 4 will get to choose the purpose of their pouch; it could be a pencil case, a purse or a general pouch.

A key skill that we’ll be using to make these pouches will be sewing. We have been practising sewing using a running stich and an over stitch.

We followed these instructions:

1. First, thread the needle and tie a knot in the thread.
2. Then, complete a running stitch using your Binka fabric.
3. Finally, tie a knot at the end of the stitch and cut the excess thread.
