Year 8 Textiles - Tote Bag Time!

Guided by their passion for creativity and armed with newfound sewing machine skills, students embarked on a hands-on exploration of stitching techniques and surface decoration and colouration techniques.

From the initial brainstorming sessions to the final stitches, each student poured their imagination into designing a tote bag that reflects their unique personality and interests. Themes ranged from vibrant tropical patterns inspired by nature's beauty to musical interests, and culturally themed designs.

Under the guidance of their teacher, students navigated the intricacies of textiles colouring, mastering techniques to bring their visions to life with precision and flair. As they stitched and sewed, they encountered challenges and triumphs, refining their skills with each stitch.

In the end, as these Year 8 students bid farewell to their sewing machines, they are left with newfound skills, cherished memories, and a tangible reminder of their creative potential through a tote bag.

Enjoy some of their awesome and creative tote bag designs!
