Our workshop on sewing and embroidery was conducted during week 7 in class. For this workshop, we selected a few different kinds of stitches and embroidery methods that we thought would be useful for the class when they create their final prototype.
The rough agenda for the workshop was:
- Running Stitch
- Back Stitch (more secure; useful to sew pieces of cloths together for your prototype relative to using ‘running stitches’ as it got a stronger hold)
- Chain Stitch
- Lazy Daisy (using the concept of chain stitch)
- French Knot (can be use to create mini roses)
- Satin stitch and padding (can be used to create different embroidery design. Tips: Do drawing guidelines of your design before you start embroidering)
- Fishbone/Fishtail
– Threads (thick, thin)
– Needles
– Scissors
– Cloth
– Needle threader
