Sew Cool Production Company
A project involving both teamwork and productivity had the eight grade FCS quad students filling out a job application for the Sew Cool Production Company. In this company their teams had one hour of sewing time to construct a 16 square quilt. The jobs they applied for were manager, quality control and sewer. The manager would check to see that machines were operating properly and keep everyone busy at all times. They also gave workers their next sewing job. The quality control job was to inspect the fabric to make sure the right sides of the fabric were sewn together and the seams had the right seam allowance. They also helped to pin rows together. The sewers would actually do the sewing making the seams the correct width and backstitching at the beginning and end of the seams. The class divided into four teams and once the jobs were decided they got busy. The squares were already cut so they just had to assemble them in the correct pattern as the sample. Groups were very busy as they tried to meet their goals. Most groups finished their projects in time .
