Creating children's clothes

Year 10 girls have been creating fabulous children’s clothes in their GCSE Textiles lessons this term.  They designed their patterns, keeping in mind things that children need in their clothes such as durability and comfort, and what fabrics they could use achieve the most appropriate designs.

Once the garments were made, Year 10 headed to the Pre-Prep Department to source willing models to try the outfits on and provide them with feedback.  The Pre-Prep girls showcased the designs down the catwalk to make sure they were comfortable and easy to walk and play in.

It was a fantastic cross-curricular exercise - the Pre-Prep girls benefitted from having the older girls visit them and Year 10 were able to make the most of having younger girls to  to measure, dress and display their creations.

Head of Textiles, Mrs Tebb said “It is always a pleasure to visit Pre-Prep and have the girls try on the clothes made by Year 10.  They gain vital experience using real people to dress, which will help their studies a great deal.”
