Our D.T project for this half term is to create a Stone Age pouch. We have been learning that in the Stone Age, people made clothing by hunting animals and then using their coat/fur for clothing. We were amazed to learn that near the end of the Stone Age, the needle and thread were invented. They would make pouches and bags to carry tools and even decorate them with animal bones!

We started our project by undertaking research around a famous designer called Rachel Boston. She uses the Stone Age to inspire some of her designs.

This week, we looked at examples of running stitch, overstitch and cross stitch. We discussed the pros and cons of each type of stitching and what would be best for each part of our Stone Age pouch.  As our main task, we practised the running stitch and cross stitch, it was so much fun!
