Course Synopsis: Textile Arts and Crafts 10 is a creative course that has been developed to explore the world of Arts and Crafts through the use of different sewing techniques. It is a course that incorporates hand/machine/serger sewing and craft making techniques. Students are introduced to quilting, appliqué, hand and computerized machine embroidery, the making of stuffed animals/toys, and needlepoint. The student’s individual choice of crafts for personal, special occasion gifts and celebrations will vary according to difficulty, time, availability of materials and interest.

BAA Textile Arts and Crafts 10 Framework 1 Rationale: In this course students create and embellish a variety of projects for personal, home use or as gifts. Textile Arts and Crafts 10 provides an opportunity for those students interested in using the latest technology available in the Textiles field. Students learn to design and create projects on standard sewing machines and add detail to their finished projects with personalized computer embroidery lettering or designs. Finally, students will display their work to the public at their school and/or a designated community facility.
