Why this why now
Designers, including fashion designers, use various methods to communicate design ideas, including pattern net design. Pattern nets can be used to develop their understanding of the form of textile products while also exploring knowledge of different fabrics. This unit builds upon the knowledge of joining fabric templates attained within the Year 3 '2D shapes to 3D products: stationery storage' unit. This knowledge is developed when designing and making during the Year 5 'Combining fabrics: accessible textiles' unit.
Prior knowledge requirements
- Pupils have experience of stitching, joining and finishing techniques in textiles.
- Pupils have experience of making and using textiles pattern pieces.
- Experience of simple computer-aided design applications
