  Developed using the approved Mentor Home Science Learner's Book (covering pages 200 through 285), this Word document Record of Work provides an authentic 9-week curriculum delivery log for Senior School educators. Operating on a 5-lesson weekly allocation, the document tracks 45 scheduled periods covering sewing equipment, textile fibre science, garment construction stitches, seam engineering, and fullness management techniques.

  This Record of Work tracks curriculum progress across the following core strands and sub-strands:

  • Clothing and Textiles:
    • Sewing Tools, Equipment and Materials (Classification, Tailor's Shears, Pinking Shears, Measuring Tools, Sewing Notions, Tool Selection, Machine Types [Hand-Driven, Treadle, Electric], Machine Parts, Thread Tensioning, Fault Rectification, Cleaning & Oiling)
    • Textile Fibres (Definition, Natural vs Artificial Classification, Plant & Animal Fibres, Synthetic & Regenerated Fibres, Physical & Burning Tests, Microscopic & Chemical Tests, Fibre Characteristics [Cotton, Linen, Wool, Silk, Polyester, Acrylic, Viscose], Household Fabric Portfolios)
    • Clothing Construction Processes - Stitches (Temporary vs Permanent, Working Rules, Even & Uneven Tacking, Diagonal Tacking, Thread Marking, Running Stitch & Backstitch, Hemming & Slip-Hemming, Loop & Buttonhole Stitches, Decorative Embroidery)
    • Clothing Construction Processes - Seams (Seam Terminology & Allowances, Conspicuous vs Inconspicuous, Open Seams, Plain Seams, French Seams, Overlaid Seams, Double-Stitched Seams)
    • Clothing Construction Processes - Management of Fullness (Functions, Methods, Single & Double Pointed Darts, Knife Pleats, Box Pleats, Inverted Pleats, Hand & Machine Gathers, Elastic Casings, Easing Techniques, Project Garment Construction)
  • Term Revision, Portfolio Evaluation, and Closing:
    • Comprehensive Clothing & Textiles Revision
    • Practical Sewing Portfolio & Garment Audit
    • End-of-Term Summative Written Examination & Feedback
    • Student Reflection Journals and Target Setting

  Key technical outcomes and clothing construction proficiencies recorded across the term include:

  • Operating hand-driven, treadle, and electric sewing machines, adjusting thread tension, and diagnosing machine faults such as skipped stitches, thread snapping, and needle breakage.
  • Executing physical touch and burning tests to identify flame behavior, residue, and odors of natural, synthetic, and regenerated textile fibres.
  • Working temporary stitches (even tacking, diagonal tacking, thread marking) to transfer pattern markings accurately onto fabric pieces.
  • Executing permanent joining stitches (running stitch, backstitch) and edge neatening stitches (regular hemming, slip-hemming, loop, buttonhole) alongside decorative embroidery.
  • Constructing self-neatening French seams, open seams, plain seams, overlaid seams, and heavy-duty double-stitched seams.
  • Applying fullness control techniques including stitching single and double pointed darts, pressing knife, box, and inverted pleats, and gathering fabric by hand and machine.
  • Inserting elastic through casings and applying curved seam easing methods during practical project garment assembly.

  Recorded instructional methods include sewing machine threading practicals, fabric burning tests, tailor's chalk pattern transfer drills, seam pressing demonstrations, local sewing shop surveys, and garment assembly projects. Assessment instruments logged comprise stitch sample evaluations, seam alignment checklists, practical portfolio scoring, burning test reports, and end-of-term written examinations.

  The record features standard tracking columns for day, period, strand, syllabus references, and teacher remarks, complete with administrative sign-off blocks for headteacher review.
