This week, P6P started the first stage of\u00a0materials to make their felt phone cases. They started by transferring their phone measurements to squared paper. They needed to use their maths skills to ensure they had the correct number of boxes so the shape was correct. They then added on a seam allowance around the edge. This stops the case from becoming too small when we start to sew it all together.<\/p>\n

Once they had completed this, they had to cut out their template. This template will be used to make sure the material is cut accurately and will fit the phone properly. The paper template was attached to the felt with pins to hold it on securely. The felt was them cut out for both the front and back of the case.<\/p>\n

Well done on working so hard P6P and concentrating to get the measurements and cutting done neatly and accurately.<\/p>\n
