Going faster than all of the other lessons is what Me and Charlee did well today we ran out of fabric but we got some more that have different patterns on them and different colours.

Sometimes it was a little difficult when the sewing machines got jammed up or the thread comes out of the needle but apart from the sewing machines sometimes not working well nothing else was difficult.

I learnt make it even so if you make one scrunchie for 1 dollar then sell the scrunchie for 1 dollar.

How Many parts to my product?
First there is cutting out the pieces of fabric then sewing them. Then we have to turn the sewed fabric inside out, Put a hair tie or elastic and pull it through the the fabric then you sew the pieces of hair tie or elastic together and the fold in and sew the remaining fabric in.

How Long does each piece take?
Around 5-10 minutes depending on how difficult they are. 

How have I ensured quality in the finish of my product?
That If im using white fabric use white thread so its not noticable. And cut away excess thread.

What did we do today overall?
Over all today we got some new fabric and sewed it up and made three new scrunchies over two blocks and three block now me and Charlee are hoping to make some more.
