Designing with Thread

Twice a week Hobart College students are invited to attend Stitch and Sew during lunch break. At this time they are encourage to have fun exploring and learning new skills using textiles. Students who attended throughout 2017 revamped clothing, learnt how to crochet, made jewellery from wool and cotton yarn, learnt how to patchwork, sketched and designed projects using fabrics and threads.

This was a student's very first attempt on a sewing machine trying out a variety of stitches. The design qualities were so impressive we decided to turn his experimentation into a pencil case.
