Textiles and Sew On
This course is designed to enhance students’ sewing machine skills and foster an interest in sewing. Students will enhance their skills by creating various items including a wrist band pin cushion, a woven cushion cover, and boxer shorts. The course focuses on cutting and pressing skills, construction methods using straight and zigzag stitches, and introduces basic fibre classification and fabric structures. Evaluation is based on both work habits and the quality of the finished products.

Textiles is an engaging subject to study because it is hands on and provides opportunities to develop skills such as perseverance, teamwork and time management. Studying Textiles is valuable as it teaches us about reducing environmental pollution by reusing fabric in a fun and creative way. It is also rewarding because it provides us with a finished product at the end of the semester. Elena Spagnolo
