Reflection 1

Teagan Fisher took a textiles class in grades 10 and 11 where she initially learned sewing but found more interest in crocheting. She created her first purse through crocheting and was inspired by online videos to attempt a more challenging project - a Harry Styles cardigan. The cardigan took 30 hours to complete and cost $50 in materials but taught Teagan important skills like problem-solving, creating her own patterns, math, and time management. Teagan received a 95% on the cardigan project, which was a highlight of her grade 11 year given she had only been crocheting for under a year. Since then, she has used the skills learned to create other crocheted clothing items.

Academic Achievement Reflection

In Grade 10 and 11 I decided to take textiles. Honestly, I was not that interested in
sewing or anything related to textiles, my sister wanted me to take the class with her, so I did it
for her. It started with us learning how to sew straight lines and use different stitches and then
we started our first project which was a pin cushion. I was proud of what I made, but I was still
not into sewing. She then started a new segment of crocheting. I picked up how to do it quickly.
I learned how to make a perfect square and all different types of stitches. I was fascinated by it.
I then spoke with my teacher and asked if I would be able to do crochet projects instead of
sewing and she said yes. The first project I made was a purse. I am still to this day proud of it,
and I use it all the time in the summertime. I would always watch YouTube videos and
Instagram reels of people and their creations, and it inspired me to make something bigger. I
came across a video of a girl making a Harry Styles cardigan. I was not a fan of the colours so I
decided to take my own spin on it and make it my final project. It is blue, pink, purple and white
and took approximately 30 hours to complete. I spent a total of $50 dollars buying materials,
but it was worth it. I had fun with it. For my skill development it helped me learn that you’ll run
into problems or have fails, but there's always a solution to fix it and make it work. I also
learned how to create my own pattern. I followed how this one girl made hers but decided to
make mine a little differently to make it fit me perfectly. It worked. This project was a very good
learning experience for me because there were plenty of tears and frustration when creating
the piece. I learned the type of math needed to determine the size of each square I needed and
the amount of yarn I would use. It helped me learn to make tough decisions and how to
organize my time as well as figure out the number of materials I needed. For future
connections, it taught me to put aside time to work on projects, stick to deadlines and become
independent and responsible to get my own supplies.

With the knowledge I have learned from making the cardigan, I plan to make another with the
fully functional pattern I have created. I received a 95% on it and that was truly the highlight of
my Grade 11 year. For someone who had only been crocheting for under a year, it was quite an
accomplishment. Since making the cardigan, I have created plenty of shirts and a sweater vest
inspired by one Emma Chamberlain was seen wearing.
