Terrific Track-Pants And Blazing Beanies

This Term, us year 8's are in sewing tech. We've been making track-pants, and today Sophia and I finished ours. To start off we sewed around the patterns, leaving a gap for putting in our pockets. After a couple of weeks and a lot of hard work, we finished off by threading the elastic through the waist band and at the ankles. I've learnt how to use a sewing machine better through the whole experience, as well as hand sewing, and am pretty happy with how it's come along. Once we completed those we went on to start making fluro beanies for our coming ski camp. We had to use really bright colours so we won't lose each other on the mount. So far it's been pretty simple because we're just cutting out the fabrics needed (a combination of fluro green, orange and some pink so bright it kind of hurts your eyes to look at). But I've always enjoyed sewing tech because it's so chill, instead of the quite quick paced cooking and woodwork.
