I got a bit of red and white checked cloth and attached it to a piece of black material.
Then with all my measurements done I added some red mesh to make my skirt puff out.
Then with a bit of help and some advice from Susie I started to hem it and sow it up and then the final stage was to add poppers to make my skirt close and open easy ;without the trouble of having zips.

I fixed the rips at the bottom of my jeans by measuring my leg length and cutting the right length and the wasted material away. I then pined and tacked the hem which was then sewn together using the sewing machine. For my t-shirt I printed and ironed on the lettering and I sewed on my horse and ironed on my cool badge.
Megan Shedon
I took a pair of pink three quarter length trousers in and I cut the legs of them,
Pamela bought some lovely pink flowery material to put down the bottom in a frill
and me and Susie pinned it and sewed it.
I got a school bag for my birthday and it wasn’t very strong and I broke it by accident,
so I took it to fashion design. Me and Susie put a bit of white material on and sewed
it with the sewing machine.
Peter Ferguson
I used an old pair of my trousers to make my shorts, I measured and cut the length
I needed, then pined and sewed using the sewing machine. I then sewed by hand two
badges that I liked on the pockets

First of all I got a t-shirt and a blue piece of material and cut pieces out of the
blue material and sewed then on the t-shirt with the sewing machine. After the sewing
machine I used the t-shirt printer to put the numbers on the back and the Scotland
logo on the front.
