Year 8 Home Economics

Some of our Year 8 Home Economics students have been busy crafting their own oven mitts—a project that has put both their sewing skills and resilience to the test! While enthusiasm has been high, one particular challenge has kept us on our toes: bias binding.

From tricky corners to stubborn edges, this finishing touch has tested our patience. However, our students have embraced the challenge with determination, learning that perseverance is just as important as precision. Through problem-solving, teamwork and plenty of practice, they’ve developed not only their sewing skills but also their ability to tackle obstacles head-on.
