This DT video supports pupils in developing their fabric shaping skills. It provides step-by-step guidance on how to cut fabric accurately and safely, including how to handle pins, trim around curves, and check precision using templates. Pupils are encouraged to take their time, ask for help when needed, and refine their cutting technique for greater control and success.
