Design Technology
For design technology this year, we have been learning about sewing. I have learned different types of sewing, back stitch, using the machines and other techniques that were quite difficult. The first task given was a piece of cloth with lines. The lines were shaped liked circles and there were few of them. So the task was to use the non machine techniques to the lines. After that there was a lined cloth which we had to use the sewing machine. That were actually the basics in sewing this quarter.
Reflection
I believe I have done quite a good job because the final project was to make a pencil case and I didn't screw it up. The tough part was to attach the zipper with the machine because we had to be steady. However I managed to do it in the end. Besides the zipper, sewing the zig-zag stich was also hard. The reason was because it used a different technique. It was different then the straight line. The IB learner profile which I learned would be well-balanced and thinker because if I made a mistake I had to think and repair. I also had to be a well-balanced person because as a boy I don't like sewing however I have to be balanced so this unit helped me with it. The fundamental concept which I learned is communication because I had to communicate with the teacher to be able to complete the pencil case and using the sewing techniques.
