Textiles skills videos

This Design and Technology video introduces pupils to the technique of pinking in textiles. It explains that pinking refers to cutting a zigzag or scalloped edge using pinking shears, which can be used as a decorative design feature. The video highlights the importance of cutting through both sides of the fabric for best results and includes a reminder to handle the shears carefully.

This video is part of Kapow Primary’s Design and Technology Textiles resources. It supports teachers in helping pupils develop decorative fabric techniques safely and confidently.
