Sewing

For creativity part of my IB programme i decided to choose to learn how to sew.  I was very bad at sewing but always wanted to learn how to sew and make pictures.  To do so I bought a special sewing painting from a shop.  I chose a flower picture and all of the materials were already inside it.  I had lots of different threads,  with variety of colours.  Special wood like circle on which I held the material and needles.  The material on,  which I sew was not very big,  smaller than an A4 paper but it was a bit challenging as I had to sew in the right order and match all the colours.  I undertook new challenges as well as developed new skills. Showed perseverance and commitment of my actions as it took me retty long time to finish sewing.  I also planned and initiated my own activity because I did it for 30 minutes twice a week.  In my opinion by doing this activity I also increased my awareness of my own strength and areas for growth.  
Other outcomes,  which weren't present are:

  • Engaged with issues of global importance 
  • considered ethical implication of my actions 
I also really enjoyed sewing :)  and will definitely do it again in future!
