Primary School
Part of Every Child Matters Academy TrustFastenings
We explored different types of fastenings including toggles, buttons, buckles, poppers, zips
And Velcro. We thought carefully about where we might find each of them and their advantages and disadvantages.
We made our book sleeves from our designs. We used running stitch to sew three sides of our material to make an 'envelope' deign so our books will be able to slide inside. We will use a button to fasten the top of the sleeve. Lots of us found this quite tricky but we all perservered.
We cut out all our fastenings
We sewed together our two pieces of material
Here we are sewing on our buttons.
Here are our finished book bags
We also evaluated our work to say what we liked and would change about it.
