Collaboration

I talked and worked with a lot of new people I met in this course to help me learn more about sewing and to get to know each other. My group worked together on many assignments we do in class and helping each other with seam samples. My group helped me complete my project too by giving me tips and showing me some techniques I didn’t know before such as how to wind a bobbin.

Critical Thinking and Artifact

My artifact is my first sewing project, elastic waist shorts. I developed my critical thinking skills throughout this project, I ran into a problem right away when I was pinning my pattern to my fabric and realized I didn’t have enough fabric to make what I originally had planned so I had decided to make shorts instead so I wouldn’t need as much fabric. later I ran into a problem when I sewed the wrong part of my fabric and I had to cut it off but because I gave myself more fabric when I started so I was able to make those mistakes because of my planning before hand my project was able to still turn out without the sizing being off.

City: Grassville

The values that are important to us are Justice, health and nature.

Justice: Justice was one of our shared values so we decided to add the Canadian Courthouse into our city to show that.

Health: Health is also an important value to us so we decided to add a park so people could get exercise, we also added a hospital because that is a big part of health so we thought it would be important to add to Grassville.

Nature/Environment: nature was something we thought was necessary to add to the city so we made sure we had lots of trees and a huge park instead of many buildings. We value the environment and nature a lot so that’s how Grassville got its name.
