Year 10 Textiles, Fashion and Design

Year 10 Textile, Fashion & Design Technology focuses on creating with fibre, yarn and fabric and learning skills that will enable students to manipulate various soft materials.

• Explore design ideas and communicate with clear annotated drawings
• Measure, mark and cut accurately
