the project I’m most proud of this time around is both of my embroidery projects. these projects highlighted my thinking core competency because this was the first time I’ve ever done something like this before and I needed to plan it out. during this project, I built upon other peoples ideas because all my inspiration came form other peoples pictures on Pinterest. I thoroughly enjoyed the process of independently making this project and I would definitely do it again.
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.
