As a high school Family and Consumer Sciences Teacher, I have many years of experience teaching sewing skills to students. Teaching embroidery is one of my favorite units to teach, this unit allows students to learn a skill that many consider good for relaxing self-care.
Homework Offered
Each week students should plan on spending an hour watching the video and trying each of the new stitches. I would recommend additional time throughout the week students practice what they have learned.0 hours per week outside of class
Assessments Offered
Feedback will be given each week on student's uploaded pictures of their progress.Grades Offered
An Embroidery Hoop 4" or 6" will work sufficiently. 2 9"X9" pieces of fabric. The best fabric for embroidery practice I have found is muslin. For the final project, you may want to use a plain colored lightweight cotton. In my classroom, I use broad cloth. Embroider Needles. - I suggest purchasing a multi pack of embroider needles. Make sure they have the sharp end and will come in a range of sizes through 12. Having a variety of needle sizes will allow students to select the needle what will work best for the fabric they have chosen and the thickness of the embroidery floss. Embroidery floss in an assortment of colors. A light colored pencil or chalk. I find a yellow or white colored pencil works best on colored broadcloth. A regular pencil will work for the embroidery sampler if done on unbleached muslin.
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
Education is my passion. I truly believe that as educators it is our job to not only provide meaningful curriculum to create well-educated individuals but to inspire students to become lifelong learners. We should celebrate student achievements...
