Year 10 Fashion & Design

Do you want to find out how to design clothes and other fabric items?

Do you want to screenprint or embroider your own designs onto fabric?

This is a practical course for students interested in all types of fabric and clothing design. The course includes developing creativity, learning about different fabrics, colour, making a pattern from measurements and improving sewing techniques. Students enjoy the freedom to create a range of products, and experiment with fabric decoration techniques such as screen printing, hand or machine  embroidery, patchwork and applique. Each student has the opportunity to explore their own interest in fashion and to develop their own sense of style. Students will complete three practical projects with supporting design work.

Topics include:

Use screenprint and embroidery techniques to personalise your fabric and create your own hoodie.

Developing confidence and skills by designing and making an introductory item. 

Make cushions to represent your own culture from fabrics designed by you.
