:: Textile ::

This is a very overdue post =X

Our first task for textile module was fulfilling the competencies profile. Remember the one i mentioned for F & N where we had one as well? That is used to assess our cutting skills and handling of kitchen equipment. Similarly for textile, it is used to assess our sewing skills.

We sewing many different types of stiches and sewed shapes like circle, triangle and square. Some shape requires pointed angle while some requires round and smooth angle. We also did zig-zag stitches and back stitchess. First time encountering terms like "basting"... "gathers"... Tried searching for videos on YouTube to view the respective sewing methods. But we all know it is still different when it comes to doing it on our own, right? Nevertheless, it was a good training and experience for me! =)

This has proven to be difficult for some of us! =( especially for people like me with no background or handling of sewing machine, whats more, different sewing techniques! It was definitely a struggle and we had to compete with time! We were not able to complete during class time and we had to find time to go back to the lab and sew.

Last but not least, a picture of what we submitted for our competencies profile.

For competencies profile
