Fabric Phone Case
Our finished fabric phone cases.
The final part of our phone case fabrication.
We are using blanket stitch or whip stitch to sew the two parts together, then choose whether to use a button or Velcro fastener.
Sewing our felt design onto our fabric template using a variety of stitches including running stitch, back stitch and whip stitch.
Sewing Practice
Before we are let loose sewing our fabric phone cases we need to practice threading our needle and tying a knot.
We are learning a variety of sewing stitches including running stitch, back stitch, blanket stitch and whip stitch.
Today we have measured the size of our phone in order to create a template.
We have increased our measurements to allow for our seam stitching and the depth of our phone.
The children in Y6 are designing a mobile phone case to be made from fabric.
First they had to decide on the design criteria and specification (the intended target user, aesthetics and functionality).
Then they created annotated drawings to show what it would look like from the front and back.
Tinkercad has been used to create a computer aided design of the phone case.
