The Project

Throughout my project work, I learnt all about sewing and fabrics. Some interesting things I learned more about are different stitching techniques, the various types of fabrics, and the process of design and prototyping a product from scratch. The high point of my journey was when I managed to obtain the fabric materials that suit my design. One of the challenges was making sure my bag design is sturdy. To overcome this challenge, I learnt to do a special sewing technique where the seams were constructed on the outside, making the bag sturdy enough to hold its shape.
