The other day I emailed the head of fashion and asked if I was able to have an induction into the fashion studio so that I am able to use the facilities. Because there was only me there I got a very in depth and useful induction. It was about 3 hours long and now I feel quite confident to be able to use the machinery on my own. Here are some of the sample pieces that I had a go at doing myself:
To begin I practised on these lined pieces of paper without the thread to give myself a feel for using the machine and moving around.
After that I moved onto using fabric and thread and had a play around until I felt comfortable with this.
Next I was taught how to use another machine. And heres the results.
Finally I ironed everything to seal everything in places and get any creases out. Also, was told all the health and safety aspects.
I am really pleased that I have done this induction. And intend to use the facilities during drop in times which I was told is on a friday. Also, I am able to use the machines after 3:30 when lessons have finished if there are staff around.
