In Fabric Technology we begin the course by revising how to use a sewing machine before creating a personalised tote bag. During this project we will learn basic construction, machine applique, and explore additional decorative techniques (such as embroidery, trapunto, or beading etc), while also utilising the technology process to develop a high quality item that is fit for purpose.
