For some of you threading a needle might be a bit of a mystery while for others customising your clothes is something that you are already doing - in Ready Steady Sew we will take you through safety in the sewing room, pinning, cutting, hand sewing and machine sewing and the decorative technique of appliqué.  At the end we will have a pile of cushions with an array of designs from Emojis to Minecraft and maybe even the odd Partick Thistle football strip.

Cotton is the most common fibre in the world followed by polyester.  You will learn in Fibres and Fabrics why these fibres are so popular.   You will also look at how fabric is made considering the differences between your smart school uniform and the comfy, stretchy clothes that you wear at home.  In this unit you will make a pendant with your initial embellished on the front.
