Sewing with Bernina

In Edgewater’s sewing room in Block C, Room 8 were with their partners in front of Bernina.

Bernina is the sewing machine we used for our sewing lessons with Mrs Scott and Ms Barrot. The item we had to make was a money purse. We first designed our money purse on paper then we practiced our designs on scrap pieces of fabric. I wanted my money purse to have decorative stitches on the lines so it looked very simple. The fabric we used for our money purses was coloured felt. We all decorated our purses with decorative stitches and we closed it up with functional stitches. At the end of our lesson our teacher Mrs Dines hurried and struggled with Mrs Scott to close up our purses with domes.

Thanks to Mrs Scott and Ms Barrot at Edgewater I now know how to use a Bernina sewing machine.
