Year 9 Textiles - Hand-Sewn Bears

Throughout the trimester, our Year 9 Textiles students have worked with care, creativity and perseverance to design and hand sew their very own teddy bears. This much-loved project offered students the opportunity to learn practical stitching techniques, explore design principles and express their unique personalities through their creations.

On the final day of the subject, the girls proudly displayed their finished bears, a wonderful celebration of hands-on learning, creativity and achievement. Each bear was unique, reflecting the individual styles, character choices and craftsmanship of its maker. From playful expressions to beautifully crocheted scarves, no two bears were alike, and each one told its own story.

The project has been a highlight for many of the girls, with several commenting on how much they enjoyed the process of bringing their designs to life. A perfect blend of skill-building and fun, the hand-sewn bear project has been a truly memorable experience for all involved.
