3S - DT: making and decorating our final product
Date: 14th Feb 2024 @ 9:28pm
Today, we completed our DT topic by making our final product. When we had planned our design brief, we had each chosen to make either a purse, a wallet or a pencil case. We started today by cutting our felt to the correct size and shape as per our design brief then we threaded our needles and using running stitch or whip stitch, we sewed up the seams.
We mostly used Velcro as our fastening and then we decorated our final product and evaluated it in our DT books.
