Slides work best as revision after the lesson rather than instead of it: read the matching pages in the reading book first, then use these to check what you remember. For Grade 11 this is usually a single topic per file.
This Grade 11 cushion cover brief builds directly on the Grade 8 version of the same exercise, but at a level expecting more deliberate design reasoning: a stated motif source, a considered colour scheme rather than an intuitive one, and attention to how the design behaves at the object's actual scale rather than as a flat drawing.
Treat it as a rehearsal for the applied-design component of the O/L paper - the marking there rewards a design that solves the brief cleanly over one that is simply well drawn.
