Alex's+Fabric

For Tech-arts, the year 8's from my class are in Fabric. In Fabric we are making Jersey's for ourselves with our choice of color and choice of design. We also got to choose whether we wanted to buy our own fabric or use the selection of colors at school.

First we had to trace around templates onto our fabric and then cut them out. This sounds easy, but really it took most of us at least 1 whole session to cut out all our pieces because everyone had trouble with the scissors!

Once we had all of our pieces, it was time to sew them all together. We started by sewing the back and front together at the shoulders and then added on our design, then our hood, our pocket, our sleeves and then we finished off by hemming our jersey. This took us all at least 4 sessions to do, depending on how long it took us to finish everything.
