For my textiles class project, I sewed a custom laptop case. I selected a fabric I liked, a fluffy layer, and a lining to make sure it looked clean. Throughout the project, I applied sewing techniques I had learned, including straight stitching, quilting, and inserting a zipper + using a zipper foot. This project not only improved my sewing skills but also allowed me to creatively express my personal style while producing something practical for everyday use. when I picked this project, I found a YouTube video online that helped me start the project but didn’t help in the slightest towards the middle, she was pointing to places I couldn’t see and was covering the entire thing with her hands it was a mess until I used paper instructions. those helped a whole lot and helped me but not to the extent where it was taking away the fun of figuring things out. something I had some difficulty with was the lining and how to properly place it but with help from the teacher I finally got it and did it the same way for the second time when I repeated the project. During my textiles project, I effectively used the communication and thinking core competencies. I communicated my design ideas clearly through sketches and discussions with the teacher, making sure my vision was understood.
