Whats Sewing on?
Students will begin learning about textiles and the design process and how it relates to them.
Students can build on what they know already or learn the basics.
This will include design drawing skills, hand and machine sewing, and how to use or modify and draft a pattern to construct a textiles product for an intended purpose.
This subject will require students to use design skills and problem-solving skills as they work with a range of materials and equipment, including the integration of electronics. Students will discover the excitement of creating something unique and breaking down the stereotypes of a traditional textiles class.
