Kia Orana! In Rata Whitu we made our own tīvaevae to celebrate Cook Islands Langauge Week (31 July - 6 August). Tīvaevae is a treasured form of quilting in the Cook Islands. Tīvaevae are made from brightly coloured fabrics. Their designs often include shapes, flowers and animals. We chose a flower for our design and we made sure to choose bright coloured pastels and dye.
We looked at some tīvaevae stitching designs.
We used a black pen to go around our flower in tīvaevae stitching patterns to make our tīvaevae look hand sewn.
Each square of the tīvaevae was made by one person. When we put them together it looked great!
