Soft Materials

Today we have another session of soft materials. 

We worked in partners and mine was Lauren. In soft materials we learnt how to thread the sewing machine. I have used a sewing machine before but this was a different sort of model so I still learnt lots about threading the machine. 

Threading the sewing machine

Once we had thread the sewing machine we got to try it out on test fabric to see if we did it right. If we did then we could do some practice.

My test fabric try out

I had some much fun getting hands on a getting to use the sewing machine. I learnt a whole bunch of new things. I found out that all of the sewing machine are not different from each other.

Soft Materials

Today we went to technology for soft materials. 

 WALT: learning how to use a sewing machine.

Today when we went to tech we learnt how to use a sewing machine safely we did this by learning what dose what and what moves when we press the peddle. To practice this we started sewing on a template. That looked like this.

This is me having ago.

Once we had finished sewing our template we got to do a Challenge. For my challenge I did a butterfly.

Which looked like this.

I loved doing tech it was so fun and I loved it

Reflection  

I loved doing technology today I learnt to use a new sewing machine. I had fun and learnt a lot of new skills.
