Textile items may include: cushions, bean bags, curtains, quilt covers, lampshades, chair covers, table runners, placemats, coasters, wall hangings. Student documentation is based on the presentation and explanation of a storyboard. In this unit of work students will learn about the elements of design as applied to interior design, displaying graphical and verbal communication skills in a class presentation. Textile items will be designed and simple patterns produced and labeled. Techniques to be explored through experimentation will include closures, appliqué and quilting. By identifying natural fibre, students will be able to create an appropriate product label.

Creative processes selected by a designer will provide a model for student’s project work, whilst a study of manufactured fibres and non woven fabrics will support the development <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 9pt;">of understanding required for decorative techniques including felting, dyeing, beading and freehand machine embroidery. The deconstruction of a non apparel textile item will assist in identifying notions, manufacturing techniques and sequence of construction as well as defining performance criteria. Students will examine the potential environmental impact of their completed textile item during their product evaluation.
