Year 7 students have just completed their cushion project, inspired by nature. Each student learnt how to use the school sewing machines and they also developed their design skills, learning how to create pattern repeats using simple shapes taken from nature. They then created stencils using card, craft knives and oil based pastels. Year 7 completed the decoration using a variety of hand embroidery stitches. They then sewed up their cushions, ready to take home at February half term.
