This Geography Scheme of Work video inspires pupils to repurpose an old or plain T-shirt into a bold, expressive piece of wearable art. The step-by-step demonstration shows how simple materials and techniques can be used to personalise clothing and explore creativity through fashion.

Pupils are guided through the transformation process — from planning a design and experimenting with pattern and colour, to applying paint, print or decorative features. The video supports skill development in surface design and reinforces the value of sustainability by encouraging re-use and upcycling.

Alongside visual inspiration, the video promotes confidence in making artistic choices and evaluating outcomes, connecting to key curriculum themes such as textiles, self-expression, and environmentally conscious creativity.

This video is part of Kapow Primary’s Whole school sustainability collection and supports practical making, imaginative thinking and artistic independence.
