Included is a full textile project for KS3 or 4 Design and Technology (AQA). Resources include a 122 slide powerpoint which sets out the following brief and learning outcomes:
Project Brief:
Design and create a functional tote bag inspired by William Morris for Primark. The bag must appeal to your chosen target market and incorporate the following features:
Tie-dye handles.
A hand painted stencil design, created using a laser cutter.
A needle-felted design element for added texture and detail.
Functional features suitable for everyday use, such as strong seams and appropriately sized handles.
By the end of this project, students will be able to:
Develop design ideas inspired by a historical style (William Morris) and adapt them to suit a modern client (Primark).
Understand and apply different decorative techniques (tie-dye, stencil painting, and needle-felting) to a fabric product.
Demonstrate proficiency in using tools and equipment, such as the sewing machine and laser cutter, to create a functional tote bag.
Evaluate their design and manufacturing processes critically, identifying strengths, challenges, and areas for improvement.
The powerpoint features theory lessons on fibres and fabrics, as well as 16 individual tasks that help students mimic a coursework project from research, initial design ideas, testing, manufacture and evaluation.
The powerpoint includes visual resources, templates to complete various tasks such as design specifications and a multitude of differentiated templates and writing resources.
Included with this download is an assessment tracker sheet with learning objectives and expectations to assess students work similar to a coursework project.
Images of Morris’s work have been taken from Google images and some exemplar coursework has been taken from AQA website.

Textiles Cover Lesson- Design a POP ART trainer.
The Right On! popular shoe brand, are launching a new trainer for the “yoof” market (13-18 year olds) (and Possibly Dads who still want to look cool), and they have asked YOU to come up with some new designs.

The project format is listed below but teachers will be able to structure the project to suit their class/pupils.
Lesson 1 - Existing Products
Lesson 2 - 3 - Initial Designs
Lesson 3-4 - Final design, rendering and annotations
Lesson 5-7 - Stitching practice and equipment
Lesson 8 - 12 - Manufacturing (templates, patchwork, sewing)
Lesson 13 - Evaluation (peer and self assessment)
Lesson 14 - Material research
This project has been been updated and adapted over the last 2 years and is taught to year 7 but could be adapted to older year groups.
The PowerPoint contains symbols which highlight scaffolding opportunities, questioning and tasks. These symbols can be found at the end of the PowerPoint and can be added to or changed to suit the teaching.
I have included a bonus worksheet at the end of the PDF as an extention or additional knowledge task.
