Week 4 – Learning New Craft – Sewing – Group

Group Member: Grace Tingshan Gou, Elena Yang Wang, Tim Xiaofeng Lin

Description:

Our group wants to start something really basic and normal, no fun no technologies at all. The result is a pillow. We bought one yard material from Mood and a 14″ x 14″ pillow as a start.

1. We cut the materials into three pieces: 15″ x 15″, 15″ x 10″, 15″ x 8″, and folded the edges half inch inside and sewed them two times.

2. At first the pace of my foot and the speed moving the material didn’t fit each other, so the threads were messed up and stuck into each stitch along sewing.

3. But then when we find the right pace everything came along. Apart from the pace, lining them straight was also very difficult. As can be seen below, it was not a perfect square.

4. Done! When we folded them inside out, everything looked perfect again. We wanted to manually sew some decorations onto this little pillow and give it to someone as a gift:)
