Design Brief: Design and make a monster-themed mobile phone cover to protect a mobile phone.

Sequence of Learning for Teachers
In this unit of work children design and make a mobile phone cover using textile materials. Children have the opportunity to consolidate their skills in sewing using the running stitch and are taught the technique of the overstitch. They develop their embroidery skills using Binca material and by applying a range of stitching techniques including the cross-stitch. Children learn about models and mock-ups and how designers use them to try out and test design ideas that they have. Children learn about different textile fastenings and consider which ones would be best suited to use in a mobile phone cover. They develop their knowledge of textile decorative techniques including embroidery, embellishment and appliqué to create a monster-themed mobile phone cover.
