Year 3 have completed our Design and Technology unit this week. We have had great fun creating an iron age tunic for our teddy bears.
Investigation
We begun our D&T by investigating about patterns and how these are made. We looked at different clothes designers and discussed how all of their designs differ from each other.
Focused Practical
We used two pieces of material to create a pocket. We had to sue different stitches, one of these was easier than the other. We practised using a running stitch, we found this one was the easier of the two. We then practised using an overstitch, lots of u found this one hard.



Once we had practised our sewing skills we thought about the patterns we needed to create to help us. We had to take measurements of our teddy bear to ensure our pattern was the correct size before we could create our pattern with paper.



Make
In order to make our tunics we pinned our pattern to some hessian before carefully cutting around it. We then decided which stitches to use to join our tunic together. Most of us chose a running stitch as we found this one easier to do.
It took lots of patience and we had to be careful when we sewed our tunic together.
Evaluate
When our tunics were finished we put the on our teddy bears. Some were a little tight and some of us had to cut the front to get them on so we created jackets.
We completed an evaluation of our finished tunic and thought about the things we did well and things we would change if we made a tunic again.
