Tote Bags

Hi Blogging World!!! For the past weeks we have been making Tote bags. We have been making bags for the Gala Celebration and so we don't have to use plastic bags because we are polluting the ocean with plastic bags. The way plastic bags are effecting our ocean is it is going down the outside drain and the fish are eating it. I am also learning how to Screen print and to sew. 

The steps to making a Tote bag are:

1. Get some Calico
2. Then you can cut out another fabric the same size or you could get another piece of Calico and Screen print
3. Once done you pin the 2 pieces together and you pin all the sides and leave 1 side unpinned for the open part of the bag
4. Then you sew the sides that are pinned 
5. Then you fold down some of the top down and iron it down
6. Then you sew that part
7. Then you do it again and iron it
8. Then sew it down
9. And then you flip the right way and find some straps and cut 2 pieces 70 centimetres long 
10. Then pin them on to the bag
11. Then you sew a square that connects it on to the bag
12. Then you Iron it all of it down and you're DONE!!!

Steps to Screen print:

1. Draw up a design
2. Grab some ink or paint
3. Then grab the screen and the squeegee
4. Place some newspaper on the table
5. Then put 1 of the Calico on top of the newspaper
6. Put the screen on top of the drawing
7. Then you grab a spoon and scoop some paint or ink onto the Screen
8. Then grab the squeegee and slide it down the screen
9. Then once you done it once scrape the rest of the ink/paint off the squeegee and put it on the screen
10. Then do a couple more slides of the paint/ink on the screen till you think it's done
11. Then take the screen off carefully
12. Then your Finished!!!

Reflection:

I found the screen printing easy and the sewing hard. The sewing is hard because it's hard to keep track of all the steps. I found the screen printing easy because it is like painting to me. You draw and the you slide paint/ink on it. The good thing is that we are helping the world recycle and stop pollution. The ugly part was the class was a mess and we had fabric everywhere and there was fray everywhere.

Gala Celebration

This week in class we were asked to make an advertisement on the Gala Day. On this it has most of the info you will need on the day. We are doing sustainable products because our world is being polluted and rubbish numbers are increasing in the ocean, and animals are dying quicker in the ocean by eating the rubbish in the ocean. I hope you like my work!
