What's Happening in Textiles

Year 8 students have been learning textiles skills as part of their Technology Mandatory course. Within the textiles unit, students are able to learn about a range of sewing techniques such as using sewing machines, fabric dyeing techniques, pattern construction and utilising diverse hand sewing stitches for both decorative and practical purposes. 

For this lesson, students were introduced to the colouration and decoration techniques that they can use for the construction of their pyjama shorts. Some of the techniques that they have completed include using Shiva Oil sticks, Derwent Inktense Pencils, Marbling, as well as cutting out their patterns for their Pyjama Shorts.
