FABRICS AND SEWING

Hand sewing is a life skill that we should all have some knowledge of; whether this is passed down through family generations, learnt at school or done as a hobby.

During term one, my Year 8 class has learnt how to embroider, sew on buttons, and worked in the technique of applique.

To put some of these skills into practice, we made small felt iced donuts, utilising the skills of cutting the design from paper and assembling the pattern pieces together with hand embroidery.

The results are very pleasing.
