In this unit children learn how textiles containers eg purses, wallets and belt bags are designed for different purposes and different users. They design patterns/templates, and join and reinforce fabrics. Children develop their designing skills when evaluating products and use this information to generate their own ideas and identify design criteria. They communicate their early ideas through modelling with paper or inexpensive fabric, and use decorative techniques eg dyeing and embroidery.
This unit could be adapted to focus on bags for different purposes eg pencil cases, simple bags, insulated bags for cold drinks, or water-proof bags for swimwear.
