Our GCSE Textiles students have been busy bringing their creative ideas to life as they work hard on their practical projects. This year, they have been designing and making products based on two exciting contexts: ‘Supporting or Participating in Sport’ and ‘Eating Away from Home’.

For the sport-themed projects, students have explored ways to enable athletic performance whilst keeping up with trends for their clients. Some are designing sportswear, focusing on breathable and stretchable fabrics, while others are creating accessories such as sports bags. These projects require careful fabric selection, precise stitching, and innovative design solutions to meet the needs of the client, whilst demonstrating their own technical skill.

Meanwhile, those working on the ‘Eating Away from Home’ theme have taken a more lifestyle-focused approach. Students are producing practical lunch bags and even portable picnic accessories.

Throughout the process, students have demonstrated dedication, refining their sewing techniques, experimenting with different textiles, and problem-solving to bring their ideas to life. The attention to detail and creativity on display is impressive and we cannot wait to see their final products.

I am proud of the effort our GCSE Textiles students have shown and I look forward to celebrating their finished projects soon!
