  1. Year 7 TextilesRational for Project • A project that would give more scope for differentiation in making. • An opportunity for pupils to be imaginative and creative in designing. • An introduction to hand sewing skills which are not always seen in KS2 as well as to the sewing machine. • To offer a project that would be gender neutral.

  2. Pugglys short for pug ugly.

  3. Differentiation in the making… • Choice could be offered through; • The materials used e.g. fur fabric or fleece non fraying, easy to handle and gives good final aesthetics. Calico could be printed, tie dyed, could use batique or appliqué. Offering a range of skills increasing in difficulty. Opportunity to recycle. • Tools used. Hand sewing needles, sewing machine, hot glue gun, scissors, craft knives. • Guidance in the choice of method of decoration and construction allows the teacher to differentiate to a wide range of abilities whilst still achieving a good quality finished project.

  4. Design Inspiration • Initial thoughts were to use a natural source of “grossness” to inspire e.g. microscopic images of bacteria, fungi and viruses (which would appeal to some of the boys). This could be related to the good bacteria / bad bacteria issue that is currently promoted in food products and offers the opportunity to design friendly helpful pugglies (which should appeal to some of the girls). • Further investigation revealed that there were similar products on the market that could be used for product analysis. • Issues such as “why would designers make deliberately ugly dolls or monsters creatures?”, does it question our values about what is beautiful in today’s society.

  8. Possible Focussed Practical Tasks • The project lends itself to almost any decorative technique. Restricted only by the resources available to the textiles teacher and pupils’ levels of skill. • Suggested techniques for Year 7 would be; • Tie dye (pupils to tie and teacher to carry out dyeing) • Printing/Sponging • Fabric crayons • Transfer printing • Hand embroidery • Machine stitching • Embellishment with manufactured components • Addition of felt ears/feet/arms etc. in seam allowance

  9. Teaching Resources • Project Focus, Literacy, Numeracy and ICT Aims • Learning Objectives; Designing Skills, Making Skills and Knowledge and Understanding outlines. • Scheme of Work – lesson by lesson outline • Pupil Targets • Class booklet • Homework Booklet • Templates for patterns • Focussed practical task materials

  10. Assessment Level 3 Level 4 Level 4 Level 5 2D 2D 3D 3D Simple shapes More intricate Addition of gusset Combining shapes Look for Increasing accuracy of hand stitching and use of sewing machine, use of components etc.
