Home Economics Projects

As part of the Junior Cert. Syllabus the students have to undertake a project in one of these areas: Craft, Childcare or Textile. This year the students opted for craft. They decided to work on cross-stitch as their theme and these were the results.

The students researched by looking through books, magazines and craft shops, and picked designs that they liked best.

Some designs were chosen with an event in mind - the wedding of a brother or the birth of a niece. Others choose their favourite cartoon characters - Paddington bear, Rupert or Spot. The nature lovers choose birds or butterflies.
