So we had our last textiles lesson just yesterday. I must say, I've learnt quite a bit, improving my skills and learning more techniques that I would never have imagined myself doing. So many DIY projects that Ive learnt to do that I think I would have to think twice before purchasing items again. If you can make it yourself, why buy it right?
Some of the things Ive learnt included the napkin technique, embroidery and appliqué. It was really interesting to learn how to use the sewing machine in the textile room. Honestly, I used to get so frustrated easily with the machines in the beginning since it would not do what I want it to do. Having to do unpicking numerous of times made me feel like I was just wasting time doing nothing in class, especially for the competency profiles.
However, I think it just takes time to get used to the machines in school. The machine is just too chim for us I guess! In the end, I fell in love with the embroidery function and was in awe of what the machine can really do for us.
So here's some pictures to mark my journey during DCX131. Not many though, since I always forget to take pictures of my work!
