# Slides 05.17: Make Lesson 5.17, two days (days 138 and 139). Slides 1 to 8 are Day 1. Slides 9 to 13 are Day 2. Needles, pins, and shears are out both days. * * * ## Slide 1: Day 1. Do now, and count out - Write today's milestone in your own words. - Then the first three things you will do, in order. - **Station Managers: count the needles and the pins out loud. Write both numbers in today's row on the station count sheet.** Notes: run the count with the three Station Managers while the rest write. Then post the milestone and say it out loud. ## Slide 2: Day 1. Today's milestone By the end of today my piece is: 1. **Cut** on the marked line 2. **Marked** with the stitch line 3. **Pinned** or clipped 4. **At least one full seam or edge stitched** - That is the bar. Hit it and tomorrow is finishing. Miss it and tomorrow is catching up. ## Slide 3: Day 1. The tool rules - Every needle and pin is in a hand, in the fabric, or in the pin cushion. - Never on the table. Never on a chair. Never in a pocket. Never on the floor. Never in your mouth. - Drop one? Say it out loud and pick it up before you do anything else. - Shears pass **handle first, blades closed**. - Never walk with a threaded needle in your hand. Put it in the fabric first. ## Slide 4: Day 1. The stuck protocol Before you raise your hand, three things: 1. **READ IT AGAIN.** Find the step on your plan sheet. Put your finger on it. 2. **LOOK AT THE CARD.** The stitch card shows the stitch in three steps with a real sample. Do two practice stitches on a scrap. 3. **ASK YOUR PARTNER.** Show them the exact spot. Not "it's not working," but "this is where the thread keeps pulling through." **THEN** stand up the "Need help" card and keep working on something you can do. Notes: read it out loud as a class once. Say the reason plainly: three of you get stuck on the same thing at the same minute, and the protocol means two of you are moving again before I get there. Image: three icons: an eye on a plan sheet, a hand on a stitch card, two people talking over fabric. ## Slide 5: Day 1. Today's three demonstrations - [Sal: fill these three in from the "the part I am worried about" lines on the plan sheets. The three most common are usually:] - **Starting a knot that holds.** Double the thread, or knot and take one tiny backstitch to lock it. - **Turning a corner.** Stop one stitch short, put the needle down through the corner, pivot the fabric, come up on the new line. - **How far from the edge to stitch.** Your seam allowance, the same distance the whole way. Mark it with chalk first. Notes: 30 seconds each, in hand, at the front, with everybody standing if they cannot see. ## Slide 6: Day 1. Build. 22 minutes. - Cut on the marked line. - Mark the stitch line. - Pin or clip. - Stitch the first full seam or edge. - Plan sheet open on the table the whole time. Notes: fixed circulation loop, three stations, every three minutes, same order. Answer only the "Need help" cards, in the order they went up. Check the marked line before anyone cuts. Clock calls: minute 12, everyone cut and marked. Minute 20, everyone pinned. ## Slide 7: Day 1. Milestone check and clean - Self-check the four milestone boxes on your handout. - Scraps in the basket. Thread ends off the floor. - Tools to the kit. Bag and label everything, including loose pieces. - I will tell each of you in one sentence what tomorrow is: catching up, finishing, or extending. ## Slide 8: Day 1. Count in, then out - **Every needle and pin back in the cushion. Station Managers count out loud and write the second number. Both numbers must match today's row.** - No station is dismissed until all three match. - Closure line: I hit or missed the milestone because ______ . Tomorrow I start with ______ . ## Slide 9: Day 2. Do now, and count out - Write the two things you have left to do. - Then write which one you do first. - **Station Managers: count out. Needles and pins. Both numbers in today's row on the count sheet.** Notes: hook: today it becomes a thing somebody can use. At the end of the period it either works or it does not, and the finishing checklist decides. ## Slide 10: Day 2. The finishing checklist. Seven lines. 1. Every seam closed, no gap wider than the head of a pin 2. Every thread end knotted and trimmed to about a quarter inch, **not cut flush** 3. The closure works: the drawstring pulls, the button fastens, the flap folds 4. **No pins left in the item** 5. The item does the job it was made for, **tested with the real contents** 6. Raw edges folded, whipstitched, or on a fabric that does not fray 7. Your name on the bag, not sewn into the item - Finished early? Second item, station helper, or make it better. - Behind? Your reduced-scope version, **decided at minute 10, not minute 35.** Notes: show a popped knot on a scrap. Ten seconds, and they never cut flush again. ## Slide 11: Day 2. Build and finish. 22 minutes. - Finish the item. - Test the closure with the real contents. - Run the seven lines and fix what fails. - **Minute 10: if you are behind, switch to your reduced-scope version now.** - **Minute 18: start finishing. Knots, trims, closure.** Notes: same fixed loop. Same "Need help" order. Hand out the early-finisher options as students pass the checklist. Two minutes of this block are the buffer for a count that does not match. ## Slide 12: Day 2. Self-check, then bring it to me - All seven lines checked by you first. - Then I confirm and initial your handout. - **Write down one problem you found yourself and fixed.** That line matters on the rubric. - Anything unfinished: write what is left. The first ten minutes of tomorrow is a finishing window. - Tomorrow: display card, then the 45-second explanation. ## Slide 13: Day 2. Count in - **Every needle and pin back in the cushion. Both counts match at all three stations, and I initial each row.** - Shears in the kit, blades closed. - Item, plan, brief, and mock-up in the labeled bag. - Closure line: the hardest stitch on my item was ______ . The part I am proudest of is ______ . Notes: keep the closure lines. They are the first draft of tomorrow's display card.
