This week I began to construct the PVC shopper. I really enjoyed this task and enjoyed problem solving with Sara. The handles were difficult to construct and we ended up changing the design but I learnt a lot in the process. I spend some more time doing punch embroidery, this time a much bigger piece that will be used as the print panel of a purse. I feel like I've got the knack for this now and have developed my technique. I constructed the lining for the shopper which required learning a new technique called 'easing in' which you do when pattern pieces don't fit together at first so you keep pinning them into shape. This requires a lot of patience but is satisfying when complete. I then attached the lining to the bag.
I have really enjoyed this week and feel really proud to have learnt so many new skills. And my fingers are toughening up too.
