Year 9 Vivid Visions Bag Samples
For my Vivid Visions project, I was tasked with creating a drawstring bag that incorporated both Japanese and modern textile techniques such as dyeing, stitching and embroidery. Making my bag took quite a while, since it involved creating a mood board for inspiration, experimenting, sketching different solutions, sketching my final plan, decorating my fabric with dye, paints and embroidery, and finally, sewing and putting my bag together. I really enjoyed sewing the bag because it allowed me to practice my sewing skills, and each step of the way, it was really cool to see my design coming together, just like creating an artwork. Even though this assessment task was fun, it was still a bit challenging, like when I had to change my design partway through to better meet the criteria, or push through being unwell, to complete my task on time. Overall, doing this project was fun and rewarding, helping me improve existing skills and gain new ones too, like time management, resilience and problem solving, which have helped me become a better designer.
