8P2 - Embroidery

Using an embroidery machine, I created matchinng tshirts with Sydney because this was something we both thought was cool. As well as embroidery being cool it was also really great to learn! Learning about embroidery has helped us gain a landfill of new knowledge. 

During this process, I learned things as simple as how to work the machine. But others like how to import design and thread the machine. Other things we got to learn about were, everything to due with stabilizer, things like how to thread the bobbin, and so much more.

The 7 standards of the class are Empowered Learner, Digital Citizen, Knowledge Constructor, Innovative Designer, Computational Thinker, Creative Communicator, and Global Collaborator. My project ties to Computational thinker because I was able to overcome problems. I was also able to find and identify the most important part of the problem. Then using the information from those skills I was able to fix the problem using the resources around me. 

A challenge I overcame on this project was simply not knowing anything about embroidery. I was able to do it by putting in effort to actually understand what was going on. There were things that went wrong and there were things I was able to accomplish quite easily. 

Given a chance to do this again, I would change the actually shirt I chose. The reason why I would change it is because I chose a full length long sleeves. There was quite a bit of fabric and after Sydney's shirt was ruined I made sure the back of mine didn't get sewn. It ended up getting sewn down a little in the corner but overall it was better than I thought.

Hastings High School Career and Technical Education Program offers Agriculture, Business Management, Computer Programming, Construction Trades, Culinary Arts, Digital Multimedia, Engineering Design, Finance, Insurance, Marketing.  My project connects to the Digital Multimedia CTE program at Hastings High School.  My project connects to careers in digital multimedia because I created a design. This creates a good start with jobs such as an animator, they make around 50 thousand to 100 thousand. It also helps with other jobs such as digital graphic artists, and they make around 20 thousand to around 70 thousand.
