I really enjoyed the most recent assessment task, Pattern Clash, because I got to use my creativity and problem-solving skills to make my stuffed dog, Duchess. Her pattern prints were inspired by the cute and girly designs of Cath Kidston. One challenge I faced was that some of the fabrics I chose were too weak to hold all the stuffing, which caused some of the seams to rip apart while sewing. However, this helped me learn how to mend fabric and improve my sewing skills.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n In this project, students developed their sewing skills by making a PJ set. They focus on sewing skills to learn gathering, creating an overlocked small hem, french seam, doubled-folded hem, elastic waistband and bias binding.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n I have enjoyed the \u201cGoodnight sleep tight\u201d assessment task as it has given me the chance to be creative and design my own pyjama set. Choosing the fabric was a challenge for me as I needed to ensure that it matched my theme while also making sure the top was sewn neatly and correctly. During this task, I learnt new skills such as gathering, making my own bias binding and creating a french seam. Overall, this project has helped me improve my sewing skills and my confidence in textiles.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n This project focused on learning felting, crochet and knitting. Students focus on learning new stitch\/fabrication techniques as well as the fibre and their properties that work well for each technique. Students sample each technique before they \u201cchoose their own adventure\u201d and make a larger project using their favorite of the 3 techniques.<\/span><\/p>\n I enjoyed the \u201cChoose Your Own Adventure\u201d assessment task because it allowed me to improve my crocheting skills and develop my knowledge of crocheting. One challenge I faced was maintaining consistent stitches and correcting mistakes throughout the process. Overall, I am very happy with my final project because it was successful and helped me further develop my crocheting skills.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\nSophia K
