In Textiles 2019, we worked on creating monsters out of felt. First was the design and creative thinking exercise which I struggled with as my skills lie in writing or explaining. We drew up some characters from the movie ‘The Nightmare Before Christmas’ then moved onto brainstorming creative ideas. I came up with a variety of fun looking monsters. In the next couple of weeks, we drew and cut out coloured fabric to sew. This made me nervous with limited experience on a sewing machine. In this class, I learned how challenging hand sewing was. Relying on the sewing machine enabled me to move on. Looking back now, I didn’t have to take this assessment as seriously as I did. The final products were exhibited in the CPA and I am very proud of my effort and finished product.
