Our Year 11 Textiles students have created a range of exciting products for their GCSE coursework.

Our Year 11 Textiles students have created a range of exciting products for their GCSE coursework.

The students were asked to pick from a range of style briefs, such as shabby chic, modern vintage and the 1960s, and created a variety of products including children’s play mats, dog coats, hanging storage devices and dresses.

CBA Lead Teacher in Design Technology Abbie Parsons said: “The students have worked incredibly hard and have challenged themselves to produce really outstanding results.

“They have put in quality control checks throughout the process to make sure they would be happy with their end products.

“They have also demonstrated a variety of different techniques in their products.

“I am very proud of our Year 11 students.”

Year 11 student Amber Freer, 16, created a high visibility dog jacket with a space theme for her dog Rosie.

The coat is reflective and includes lights and pockets for dog treats and dog bags.

Amber said: “I wanted to create a coat for Rosie to keep her safe at night.

“It took me a lot of time during lessons and Session 4 to design and make the coat.

“I’m really happy with how the product turned out.”

Bethany Clarke, 16, made a child’s play mat with a sea theme.

She said: “I’m really pleased with my play mat. I used a lot of different techniques to create the play mat including CAD CAM embroidery and sublimation printing.”
