We are going to be designing and
making our own Roman purses
using our sewing skills.
Lesson one
L.O. to design, make,
evaluate and improve
- To investigate and analyse a range of
purses and wallets
- To generate, develop, model and
communicate ideas
- To research and develop designs based on
a specification
Purses and Wallets
- What are they?
- Who uses them?
- What are they made
out of?
- How many different
styles are there?
Let’s begin by thinking about the following questions…
RESEARCH
Complete the task sheet,
thinking about what you
already know about
purses and wallets.
Look at the purse and wallet designs below…
Which of these designs is your least favourite? Why?
Which of these purses or wallets has your favourite design? Why?
1. 2.
3.4.
Who might use these purses/wallets?
Think about the person’s gender and age giving reasons
for your answers.
When designing a product we have to
keep a specific audience in mind.
Complete the next section of your sheet.
What might we need to consider when
designing and making a purse?
- Boy/girl
- Age
- How long will the item last?
(durability)
- How much will it cost?
- What does it look like? (appearance)
Which factors do you think might be the most important
to each of the people below when considering a
purse/wallet design?
Let’s look at the comments on the next slide to help us…
We’re now going to start to
consider our Roman purse
design.
Roman purses were designed to
be functional but would also
have a design so that the owner
could easily recognise their
purse.
Use the next slide to help you
label the Roman purse features.
Leather was used to make the purse because it was hard wearing and strong.
A cord rope was used to tie around the next of the purse. It was strong and would keep the contents in the purse safe.
The size of the purse was considered carefully, it needed to big enough to fit Roman coins in and also easy to carry and transport.
Romans would be able to design this part of their purse to be able to identify it was theirs.
Lesson two
L.O. to design, make,
evaluate and improve
- To investigate and analyse a range of
purses and wallets
- To generate, develop, model and
communicate ideas
- To research and develop designs based on
a specification
Today we are going to
be designing our Roman
purses.
We need to think about
the design and also the
types of sewing stitches
we will need to create
our Roman purses.
Use the following slides
to help you.
We will be using these stitches to make our Roman
purses. A running stitch is efficient and quick to
sew pieces of material together. An over stitch is
used to add more support and will hold two
pieces of material together more firmly.

Label the Roman purse with the material and sewing
stitches we will be using. Choose two different
colours to represent the two different stitches.

running stitch

thread
design
We are now going to design the middle section of
our Roman purse. Draw each design in the box and
explain why you like/dislike your design.
There are some examples on the next slide…
You could use a traditional Roman pattern or create
your own. You could even create a design using the
first letter of your name so your purse is easily
recognisable!
Lesson three
L.O. to design, make,
evaluate and improve
- To learn to plan the order of our work
- To learn how to sew and stitch
components together
- To learn to select the best materials and
tools for the job
- To learn to suggest improvements for our
own and others’ work
Today, we are going to start thinking
about the sewing process and method to
make our Roman purses.
We are going to make a paper model of
our Roman purses.
Making a model will help us to think
through the order of our work when we
begin our sewing.
We will use coloured lines to mark where
we will sew the components together
when we make the actual Roman purses.

We will be using these stitches to make our Roman
purses. A running stitch is efficient and quick to
sew pieces of material together. An over stitch is
used to add more support and will hold two
pieces of material together more firmly.
Let’s recap the two different sewing stitches
we will be using…
We are now going to order stage of making
a Roman purse to help us understand the
process further.
Use the following slides to help you…
Step one:
On each piece of felt fold it over to create a
1-2cm fold.
Use a running stitch to keep it in place.
Step two:
Once you have sewn the fold on each piece of felt, cut
out a circle and add your design using fabric pens.
Use a running stitch and sew this to one of your felt
pieces.
Step three:
Now use an overstitch to join the two pieces of felt
together. Start below the folds you have already sewn.
BE CAREFUL not to sew over the fold as this is where
the purse will open and fold with the thread.
Step four:
Once you have sewn the felt purse together using an
overstitch, get 2 more pieces of thread. Make sure they
are 3X longer than the purse.
Next use a bodkin and tie one of the threads
loosely to it.
Step five:
Use the bodkin to pull the thread through.
Tie a knot in the ends.
Once complete, do the same with the other thread
ensuring you start at the opposite end.
Step six:
Once you have tied knots in each end, gently pull the
purse so that the two ends gather to close.
Using the previous slides, order the pictures to
show the process of making a Roman purse!
Lesson four – let’s sew!
Lesson five
L.O. to design, make , evaluate and improve
- To learn to evaluate your Roman purse
against design criteria
- To learn to consider the views of others to
improve your work
Why is evaluating so important?
Designers have to evaluate their product
to see if their design has been
successful.
Evaluating is an opportunity to see
what could be improved or what could
be done differently next time.
Questions to consider…
- Does your purse fulfil the design criteria? How?
- Has anything changed from your original design?
If yes, what?
- Do you like your finished product? Why/why not?
- How could you improve it?
- What new skills have you learned from making
your purse?
- If you could give one piece of helpful advice to
the next class who will make Roman purses, what
would it be?
- Did you enjoy making this product? Why/why not?
Evaluation task
Complete the
evaluation thinking
about the questions
on the previous slide.
