This D&T video introduces pupils to applique — a textile technique where smaller pieces of fabric are sewn or stuck onto a larger background to form decorative patterns. Teachers are shown how to mark, cut, and pin fabric shapes with care before securing them using a running stitch. The video also demonstrates how to work with smaller shapes using fabric glue and how to finish with neat, secure knots.

This video is part of Kapow Primary’s Design and Technology Textiles resources. It supports the development of practical sewing and design skills for Key Stage 2 pupils working with fabric.
