Cobblebank Year 9 Textiles

Year 9 Textiles students at Cobblebank have continued the soft launch of their comfort wear clothing label while incorporating new skills on the overlocker sewing machines. 

Renowned for their complexity, overlockers are designed to finish garment edges to a professional standard, preventing fraying and creating clean, durable seams.

Using two needles and four threads, these machines represent a significant step up from standard sewing machines. 

The Year 9 students have embraced this challenge with enthusiasm, developing valuable real-world skills relevant to the textiles industry. They look forward to completing their hoodies and stepping into the advertising component of their label launch.
