2S - DT: Textiles - Joining Techniques

Lesson: Design and technology

In today's lesson, we revisited the joining techniques for textiles that we had spoken about on Tuesday and Wednesday. Although there are quite a few joining techniques, we focused on seeing, gluing and stapling.
First, we learnt how to thread a needle with cotton (this was very challenging for most of us). We then used this to join two pieces of felt together with a running stitch.  It was very tricky but we all persevered with it. One of us even managed to accidentally sew our pieces of felt onto our World Book Day outfit! 
The other techniques, gluing and stapling were thankfully much easier :)
