GCSE Textiles Rescue – Lapped Zip
Ages 14-16
First published 2014
This twelve-and-a-half minute video shows the technique of inserting a lapped zip, a difficult and challenging technique that, if successfully done, will gain students higher grades as it gives a quality finish to a product. It includes explanations of where lapped seams are used and detailed staged instructions on inserting a zip, including overlocking and using a specialist zipper foot on the sewing machine, with safety advice. A number of other instructional videos and presentations have been developed and are available showing a range of practical skills students can develop to improve their GCSE students’ grades.
The GCSE Textiles Technology programme has been run by the D&T Association since 2012 with funding support from the All Saints Educational Trust. It was originally offered as CPD events to those schools who wanted to improve their Textiles Technology GCSE results to an average score of 60% or above grades A-C. The programme was a mix of face to face national workshop and regional workshops and on-line support meetings.
