DESIGN

We are making a lavender bag and my design specifications will be:

• it should not be bigger than about half an a4 sheet of paper
• it should have a regular rectangular shape 
• I must use at least 3 techniques I have learned -
• I must include tie dye
• I must include embroidery
• I must include machine sewing
• the bag will have an animal theme
• the bag will be made using 2 pieces sewn onto the 2 pieces for the background
• the front and the back of my bag must be tie-dyed by me

1.

These are my initial ideas. I chose this because -

• it can be made using 2 pieces sewn onto the main bag
• it does not need so much space and can fit into about half of an a4 sheet of paper
• it has an animal theme
• it can be made on a regular rectangular shape
• I can use a minimum of 3 techniques to make it
• it can have a tie dye background

This is approximately the size of my bag and the design that would be sewn on to it.

After I made the final design I traced out the two pieces I would need to make my bag and cut them out.

5.

Then I arranged the pieces to make my shape.

This is the step in which I placed the two pieces on a piece of paper and getting an idea of approximately how big my bag will be.
