YR 4-6 Fashion club students have been getting creative designing and making their own printed fabric and creating their own mini bags.

Starting off by paint dying their fabrics and creating cardboard stamps to decorate their coloured fabric, then students hand stitched their bags.

Here are some images of students work.

Well done to all sustainable fashion students, you all did an amazing job.

No sew T shirt tote bags

We all have that one favourite t shirt that either doesn’t fit, has a stain or a little hole or two. Now is the time to give that old t.shirt a new lease of life we are going to transform and up cycle them to a tote bag which you can use.

Equipment: T shirt, scissors, ruler ( Yes this is all you need)

  1. Lay your t.shirt flat on a flat surface.
  2. Cut off the bottom hem of the t. shirt, sleeves and cut out a squared shape at the the neck of the t.shirt. To make an even square fold t.shirt in half and cut out a rectangle shape, then unfold once cut. you should have cut yourself a even square.
  3. Place your now cut t.shirt flat on a flat surface, get your ruler and measure 10 cm by 1.5 cm vertical strips from the bottom of the t.shirt.
  4. Now take 1 tassel from the front and back side of your t shirt and knot together keep on until you have finished all the tassels.
  5. There you have it your ready to use up cycled tote bag.

If you have another t shirt why not make one as a gift for a friend or family member

Have fun stay creative

SUSTAINABLE FASHION – STITCH CREATIONS kS1 & kS2

We started the term with both groups students basic cross stitching techniques.

Once students felt confident enough with this technique they designed a logo and cross sticthed their designs. Ks1 focused on designing patterns and shapes and Ks2 had to design a simple logo of their own choice.

As the students did so well with the stitching project we took it up another level. Students had to create a self portrait using the cross stitching techniques and a mixture of mixed materials. Once the portraits are completed they will be photographed and image will be used for a t. shirt print and the original will be decoration for a cushion (ks1) or a T. shirt tote bag. T.shirts and tote bags will be showcased in our end of term. More details will be available soon.

While students wait for their transfers to be processed they have started to make and decorate tote bags out of T. shirts (ks1) and cushions out of jumpers filled with fabric remnants (ks2).

KS2 will finish off their portrait stitch creation and add to their T-shirt tote bags and finish decorating.

Once again students have worked very hard and have picked up so many new skills this term which they will be using next term when they will be designing and upcyling fold items into new fun and exciting fashionable creations.

Enjoy your well deserved break and i look forward to seeing you all inn the new term.
