Tech Project

Every  Thursday at 10.30-12.30 we have tech at HPC for my first four weeks of trial tech I did fabrics with Mrs McCormack. At the start we got a booklet to learn how to thread up the machine and how to sew properly. Then we sewed on a piece of paper with no thread to make sure that we can sew straight lines, my lines were quite straight. Then we did our drivers licence which was the same but with corners, we started to use the sewing machines and took the drivers test for the sewing machines and sewed on a little piece of fabric to practice before we started making our pencil cases. I got my sewing drivers licence. Then we moved on to our designs for our pencil case. We had to chose the colour of the zip and the colour and kind of fabric that we want. For my pencil case I chose a turquoise zip and yellow fabric but we were only allowed to use the cotton fabric because that was the only fabric that was suitable for the sewing machines that we were using. On the last week we sewed on the zip and sewed the two pieces of fabric together, and the zig zag neatened the fabric so it wouldn't fray and cut of the extra threads and then we were finished.
