__** Textile tool **__
 * 1) Dressmaker's chalk, marking pens and pencils. This is safe because it gives you an accurate and straight lines and stitches.

2. Dressmaker's shears/scissors. These are safe because you are able to cut things.

3. Thimble. A thimble is safe because when you hand sewing you could prick your self.



4. Unpicker. An unpicker is safe because it is quicker to use and safer to use rather than using scissors as you can cut your self or hurt yourself as they are bigger and cant fit into smaller areas.

5. Pins. Pins are safe because they hold things together so that you dont need to hold it together with your fingers and you may get hurt.

**__Textile Techniques__** Tie Dye- I did like this technique because it was something that i had never heard of.I would like to use tie dye in my pillow because i think that it makes the pillow look very nice and there are a lot of designs, techniques and colours to choose from.

Apllicate- I did like this technique because it was so easy and simple. I would like to use applicate in my project but im not sure if i will.

Different stiching techniques- I liked this technique because now i know that there many different types of stichings that i can use in my sewing. I will use differnet types of stiching such as straight stiching and zig zag stiching.
