Quilted delights from our Year 10 textile...

This half term our Year 10 textiles students have showcased their creativity by designing and printing their own fabric and transforming them into stunning quilted toiletry bags. Eager to infuse their personalities into everyday items, these students created something unique and personal.

 

From dainty floral patterns inspired by nature to bold geometric greek inspired prints, the fabric designs were wonderfully diverse. Once the designs were finalised, we used a modern printing technique called sublimation printing, to transfer their creations onto high-quality fabric.

 

The students skillfully layered the fabric with wadding and lining, adding a padded and textured dimension to their designs. Quilting not only enhanced the aesthetic appeal but also added some durability, turning the fabric into a sturdy material suitable for everyday use.

 

The students developed valuable skills in using CAD to design, printing, and of course sewing, honing their abilities to turn their own beautiful fabrics into tangible, functional items. I have been particularly impressed by the effort of one student, who has been going the extra mile to make a number of extra bags, to gift to friends and family for Christmas! Well done Year 10!
