Week 7 in Fashion Design & Textile Art

It's been 7 weeks so far since I've been here at Fashion Design & Textile Art. I've learned a lot! I came in here knowing nothing about sewing machines nor hand sewing. Learning how to hand sew and use the sewing machine has really skilled me having more patients and focusing more. I learned many techniques from my peers that have more knowledge to sewing, and it's really great to learn something in many different ways. For example I learned how to tie a knot in four different ways! Which is really helpful because you can use this skill to secure your stitches, when it comes to hand sewing. Also I learned varieties of stitches and how each one is unique. Now getting into machine sewing, I feel like it is more delicate to use. When it comes to using the sewing machine I feel like you have to be in peace, focused, and patient. This truly has changed my perspective towards fashion designers and buy clothing in stock. Overall, learning these basic skills I feel a little bit more comfortable sewing and maybe making a garment.
