Designing Your Class

• Create an outline of class

• Write class objective

• Decide on broad subject areas

Break down into more detailed areas

– Does the student need to know common errors to

avoid?


– Does the student need to know a procedure?

– Are examples necessary?

– Does the student need to read theory, history, or

basic concepts?

– Does the student need to acquire factual

information?


Create Samples & Photos

• Create step by step samples

• Take photos of each step

– Use a plain background for photos

– Choose a background that contrasts with your

project

– Keep background consistent for all photos of your

project


– May need to add extra lighting

– Edit photos with photo editing software

(Photoshop Elements or GIMP)

– Use largest image setting on your camera


Create Powerpoint Presentation

• Create title slides

– Use a white background for presentation

– Keep slides clean and streamlined without extra

animations or transitions

• Add text to slides

– Use Georgia text throughout presentation


• Add photos

– Don’t forget to include close-ups where

appropriate


• Add narration

– Create a short script for your narration

– Practice your narration so that you sound

natural and comfortable

– Eliminate distracting background noises or

use a noise reduction microphone


Sample Class Presentation

• The next few slides are an example of a sample class to

use as a guideline. This would be a class for inserting an

invisible zipper into a pillow.


Invisible Zipper


High-end designer pillows are sewn with invisible zippers.

The invisible zipper is hidden in the seam which creates a

beautifully finished pillow.

Supplies Tools

Fabric for pillow Sewing machine

Pillow form Zipper foot

Invisible zipper Scissors

Thread Pins

Decorative cording

Pre-Assemble the Pillow

• Cut front & back of pillow the same size

• Add welt cord or decorative cording on front side of

pillow fabric


• Zipper length-minimum 2” shorter than

pillow, preferably as long or longer than pillow

bottom

• Open zipper full length


Sew In the Zipper

• Place zipper teeth next to the decorative welt cord

(zipper tape should line up with selvage edge of

pillow).

• Stitch zipper tape to fabric with basting stitch.


• Roll teeth flat (open) and stitch in the ditch as close as

possible to zipper teeth without stitching the teeth.

• Start and stop stitching about 2” from each end of the

pillow.


• Roll teeth flat (open) and stitch in the ditch as close

as possible to zipper teeth without stitching the

teeth.

• Start and stop stitching about 2” from each end of

the pillow.


• Zip the zipper closed, this will help you match the

side edges of the pillow.

• With right sides together pin zipper in place at the

bottom of the pillow back, matching outside edges of

the pillow.


• Open zipper at this time.

• Baste the zipper in place with the

tape of zipper on the bottom edge

of the fabric.


• Return to the beginning of the zipper and fold the

teeth open and stitch in the ditch as close as possible

without catching the teeth in your stitching.


• Now you are ready to close the pillow at the zipper ends.


• Begin stitching the pillow at one end of the zipper and continue around to the other end.


Finish & Enjoy!

• Turn your pillow right side out, insert pillow fill and zip pillow!
