Laura said she was shocked when she heard the news.
"When I found out all four of us got chosen, I was really excited and even just to get shortlisted was good, especially for us coming from a country town," she said.
The group spent more than 100 hours each on their handmade creations.
"Since Year 7 I've been looking at the older girls' designs and wanting to design something of my own," Laura told the Leader.
Hannah said it was a huge task, but one that was well worth it.
"There were lots and lots of hours and fixing and trying and a lot of things didn't work," she said. "But, I loved it and it was really fun."
The girls' teacher Ce-Anne Brennan said she was thrilled to have her class shortlisted for 'Textyle'.
"We've never had the four of them all together, and it's really nice for the four of them because they have become really close friends, so it's been a lot of fun."
