For my work placement I decided I wanted to work in 3D, to use my hands to create a product. I was able to spend my placement with Graham Crummet a vehicle trimmer. During my placement I was able to watch and participate in creating 2 complete Triking Sports Car trim sets, I was able to practise stitching a wide variety of materials and practising making various seams.
I really enjoyed my placement it confirmed my interest in working in 3D, and reminded me how much I enjoy stitching !
