Sew it - Mend it - Make it - Video Toolkit

Learn essential sewing skills with these step-by-step videos and toolkit, covering bag making, clothing repairs, and fastening fixes. Each engaging video visually demonstrates the full process, supported by a lesson plan, student step-by-step guide, and worksheet. Ideal for KS3 Design & Technology, these lessons build practical skills while promoting creativity and sustainability.

Inspired by the West Sussex Climate Enterprise Award 2024 winner—a student from Bourne Community College—who proposed a sewing club to reduce clothing waste and encourage repair and reuse.
