Reflection

I learned that embroidery is very relaxing and there are multitude of stitches that can be used to create any type of image. I would consider making embroidery my hobby, except it is very time consuming. I learned that when you embroider, you should try to think of the pattern ahead of time to account for all the stitchings and just general aesthetics. I would probably base my embroidery off of an image just to make it more aesthetically pleasing; however, I believe that the piece I produced is pretty good because I have never embroidered before. 

In general, I enjoyed learning about soft fabrication and textiles because I feel like these are skills that everyone should learn and know about. We deal with textiles and fabrics on an everyday basis, but we never stop and think about how much work, time, and trial goes into creating a t-shirt or a pair of jeans. I also learned that there are many uses for fabrics beyond clothing and it is a easy material to use when prototyping or creating a product.
