AG LIFE Wimmera Machinery Field Days: Horsham College textiles on display

College textile students in Years 10, 11 and 12 will attend this year’s Field Days to display an eclectic mix of upcycled and newly designed and sewn garments to the public.

Teacher Tina Fitzgerald said 15 students were busy preparing pieces such as dresses and skirts for the college’s annual fashion parade and showcase.

She said this included upcycled denim items, garments made by students so far this year, as well as old borrowed clothing from the '60s, '70s and '80s.

She said having students regularly showcase their work helped to build their confidence.

“They can be proud of what they have done and get the chance to show that to the community,” she said.

“And I think the community are really interested in seeing what the students have made as well. 

"Some people think sewing is a bit of a dying art, but this is a chance to see that we have a lot of young students interested and creating amazing garments.”
