Downloaded from hlayiso.com Consumer Studies 2 DBE/PAT 2020 NSC (Production of Patchwork Quilting by Hand) THE PRACTICAL ASSESSMENT TASK FOR CONSUMER STUDIES PRODUCTION OF PATCHWORK QUILTING ARTICLES BY HAND 1. INTRODUCTION The 17 Curriculum and Assessment Policy Statement subjects which contain a practical component all include a practical assessment task (PAT). These subjects are:  AGRICULTURE: Agricultural Management Practices, Agricultural Technology  ARTS: Dance Studies, Design, Dramatic Arts, Music, Visual Arts  SCIENCES: Computer Applications Technology, Information Technology; Technical Sciences  SERVICES: Consumer Studies, Hospitality Studies, Tourism  TECHNOLOGY: Civil Technology, Electrical Technology, Mechanical Technology and Engineering Graphics and Design A practical assessment task (PAT) mark is a compulsory component of the final promotion mark for all candidates offering subjects that have a practical component and counts 25% (100 marks) of the end-of-the-year examination mark. The PAT is implemented across the first three terms of the school year. This is broken down into different phases or a series of smaller activities that make up the PAT. The PAT allows for learners to be assessed on a regular basis during the school year and it also allows for the assessment of skills that cannot be assessed in a written format, e.g. test or examination. It is therefore important that schools ensure that all learners complete the practical assessment tasks within the stipulated period to ensure that learners are resulted at the end of the school year. The planning and execution of the PAT differs from subject to subject.  During the practical assessment task the learner must demonstrate his/her knowledge and practical ability/skills to produce patchwork quilting articles by hand focusing on suitability for selling.  The practical assessment task for Consumer Studies, Grade 12, consists of ONE layout and cutting session (part of practical examination 1) and TWO practical examinations of 4 HOURS EACH. Learners perform these practical examinations individually. o Term 2: Practical examination 1 (plus layout and cutting session) Learners will make half of the article selected for the micro-enterprise used for the project in term 1. o Term 3: Practical examination 2 Learners will complete the article started in practical examination 1, in practical examination 2. 2. MARK ALLOCATION  Each examination consists of 100 marks. The mark for the final practical assessment task is obtained by combining the marks for the two practical examinations as indicated below: Practical examination 1: term 2 (includes layout and cutting) 100 Practical examination 2: term 3 100 Total 200 ÷ 2 Final mark for PAT 100  The marks for the PAT are part of the end-of-the-year assessment.  The province will provide two separate computerised mark sheets, one for SBA and one for the PAT. Both mark sheets must be signed by the teacher, principal and moderator. Copyright reserved Please turn over

REQUIREMENTS FOR THE PRACTICAL EXAMINATIONS Consumer Studies is a choice subject with five practical options. If the school chooses to offer Consumer Studies as a subject and selects the patchwork quilting practical option, the equipment and funds necessary to conduct the PAT, as well as the specified number of practical lessons, is the responsibility of the school as specified in the CAPS document. Ensure the following:  A suitable classroom with the necessary equipment must be available: tables for layout and cutting out; two or more ironing boards and irons; cutting-out scissors (one for each learner); equipment for measuring and marking.  A minimum of R80 to a maximum of R150 per learner for EACH of the two practical examinations is required to make the required articles, besides the funding required for the SBA practical lessons.  Divide the learners into groups with a maximum of 12 learners per session. Twenty-four learners (two groups of 12 learners each) can perform the examination on the same day, e.g. from 08:00 to 12:00 and from 13:00 to 17:00.  The teacher will need time between the two sessions to prepare the classroom for the following group.  Schools with large numbers of learners will need more than one day to complete the examination. 4. REQUIRED TIME FRAME  Layout and cutting is done beforehand in a 1-HOUR session under examination conditions.  A time frame of 4 HOURS in total is required per examination (excluding the 1-hour layout and cutting session before practical examination 1). 5. SETTING THE PRACTICAL EXAMINATIONS 5.1 Practical examination 1 (term 2)  This practical examination must be slotted into the test and examination timetable in the second term.  Learners will make half of the article selected for their micro-enterprise (project in term 1). The production process, workmanship and saleability of the articles form an important aspect of the examinations.  The teacher must buy a commercial pattern for an article that can be completed in 9 HOURS with the skills learners gained during the practical lessons for SBA in Grades 10 and 11.  Teachers have two options when selecting the pattern for the practical examinations: o Buy a commercial pattern for an article that can be completed in 9 HOURS (1 hour layout and cutting out plus 2 x 4 hours); OR o Use the same commercial pattern used in the practical lessons and remake the same article once more in 9 HOURS (1 hour layout and cutting out plus 2 x 4 hours).  The article selected should have a minimum skills-code weighting of 100 points.  The techniques to be completed per practical examination should have a total skills-code weighting of 50 points.

Requirements are based on fabrics 112 cm wide. All strips are cut across the width of the fabric. The 6 mm seam allowance used throughout is included in the cutting measurements. Read through the instructions before you begin. CUTTING: From the cream tone-on-tone print cut:  Two 17 cm x 27 cm rectangles From the red tone-on-tone fabric cut;  Two 12 cm x 17 cm rectangles  One 7 cm x 76 cm strip From the green spot print cut:  Two 12 cm x 27 cm rectangles  Two 6 cm x 27 cm rectangles From the red floral print cut:  Two 7 cm x 12 cm rectangles  Two 12 cm squares  One 4 cm x 76 cm strip From the lining fabric cut:  Two 32 cm x 37 cm rectangles APPLIQUÉ: Cut a 76 cm of 0,5 cm bias tape from the dark green tone-on-tone print. Copy the petal/leaf and centre shapes from the pattern onto template plastic. Trace around the petal/leaf shape 20 times on the right side of the red tone-on-tone print leaving 2.5 cm between the leaves/petals and then cut them out with a 2 mm seam allowance added. Trace around the same template eight times on the right side of the green spot print and cut them out the same way. Trace around the circle template four times on the right side of the red floral print as before and cut them out. Put the pattern sheet on a light box or against a well-lit window, centre a cream tone-on-tone rectangle over it and trace the stems. Cut the bias strip to size for them and if using fusible hem facing, press them on the background following the pattern with the bottom edges of the stems and rectangle aligned. Then stitch them in place with matching thread. Alternatively align the seam of the bias strip with left-hand line, stitch it in place with matching thread. Copyright reserved Please turn over

Make TWO of these units. Stitch the 12 cm x 17 cm in red tone-on-tone rectangle to the bottom of the 17 cm x 27 cm cream tone-on-tone rectangle with right sides facing and press the seam towards the darker side. Make two of these units. Attach the 7 cm x 12 cm red floral print rectangles to the bottom of the 7 cm x 27 cm green spot ones with right sides facing and pressing the seams as before. Lay out three pieces of the front of the bag and sew them together with right sides facing, pressing the seams outwards, see DIAGRAM1. Do the same for the back. DIAGRAM 1 Put petals around the tops of the stems and needleturn-appliqué them with matching thread. Do the same for the leaves then attach the centres so they cover the ends of the petals. Repeat for the back of the bag. Lay the bag pieces with the wrong sides facing down on the Pellon/batting and baste them together. Trim the Pellon/batting leaving a small allowance all the way around. Quilt both sides of each seam using the Perlé cotton No. 8 and 2,5 mm quilter's tape – see photograph. Trim the Pellon/batting level with the bag pieces then put them wrong sides down on the fusible side of the stiff iron-on interfacing and fuse them together. Trim the iron-on facing to the same size as the bag pieces. Put the bag pieces right sides together, pin the matching seams then sew down the sides and across the bottom. Box the bottom of the bag by bringing the bottom seam in line with the side seam. Sew across the point 3 cm down from the tip and trim the seam to 0,5 cm, see DIAGRAM 2. Repeat for the other end.

Stitch down that edge then put the other long raw edges together and sew them as before. Turn it right side out and press it, centring the red floral print strip. Stitch in the ditch of both seams. Insert the Rigaline until it is all in the casing then sew across the end. Keep feeding it through until it comes out the other end then sew it in place on short sides of handle. The handle should now be gathered. LINING: Sew the lining rectangles together down the sides and across the bottom, with right sides facing and leaving an opening for turning. Box the bottom as for the outer bag. FINISHING: Pin the handle ends to each side of the bag aligning the middle of them with the seams, having right sides facing and the handles protruding slightly over the raw edges. Place the outer bag inside the lining with right sides facing and pin them well, matching the side seams and ensuring that the handle is out of the way. Sew around the top edge being careful when you sew over the handles. Turn it out through the opening in the lining then slip-stitch it closed. Push the lining into the bag, roll the top edge so the lining is completely inside then pin it, use the 2,5 mm quilter's tape and the Perlé cotton to quilt around the top edge. If the teacher is using a homemade pattern an instruction page must be included. Copyright reserved
