A short 2 minute video I created for SustFashwales about the main issues of global manufacture in the fashion industry. This is Part 1 of a series of videos learning about the often hidden issues and problems of the global fashion industry. The video was created using Animaker and iMovie. It links perfectly with a recent blog I wrote for Friends of the Earth Cymru: https://www.foe.cymru/clothes-how-bad… I have lots of other videos I’ve created to people to have for free. They are perfect for teachers to use in their classroom or those wanting to learn new skills such as using a sewing machine, threading/using hand needles, hand sewing stitches, sewing applique and buttons all with the aim of fixing your own clothes to save you money and also save the planet too! I also have other videos all about the many issues and solutions of the fashion industry! Subscribe to see them as they are added! If you are a teacher/lecturer get in touch and I will send you links to free copies to use in your own classroom/workshops! . . #SustFashWales was created by myself, Helen O’Sullivan (nee Ball) and I have a long passion for sustainability and transparency within the tangled web that is the fashion industry supply chain. The need for a more accessible sustainable fashion industry has never been greater, as one of the most polluting industries in the world and one that affects us all through the clothes we wear. As consumers we often have no idea how much power we have to make a difference in such a huge perplexing global economy. By doing little things like learning where your clothes and accessories come from, who makes them and then using this to make more responsible choices, we have the ability to make great change! I have been campaigning for over 15 years for a sustainable fashion industry and in addition to my own work as a teacher and a bridal designer I have also supported various causes such as Fashion Revolution, Ethical Fashion Forum etc. However, I recognise the need for a source of information for those in Wales….SustFashWales! http://www.SustFashWales.org

A very useful template for creating the final designs of the eco-friendly stuffed toys, to help pupils know what to include on their final designs. The sheet also features also notes and guidance for pupil annotation and what they need to consider. This accompanies the full 20 week presentation but is also excellent as a cover lesson activity. This is also featured in a bundle which includes the full PowerPoint presentation and instructional video.

This is the video to support the full "Eco Toy" presentation. It features photos of each stage and written instructions. It includes differentiated instructions for both Sid & Nancy (Sid = difficult and Nancy = easy versions of toys). It can be played on a loop during the making lessons to help pupils stay on track with their projects and prevent you from doing multiple demonstrations each lesson and helping your pupils to think for themselves! Win win! It can also be purchased as part of the Eco Friendly Stuffed Toy bundle.

This is an incredibly comprehensive PowerPoint Presentation including everything you need to teach your upper KS3 pupils how to design and make an eco-friendly stuffed toy. This was inspired by a group of very talented previous pupils. The brief: "I have been asked by the Environment Agency to design and make a stuffed toy in my choice of style, suitable for customers of my chosen charity, but using at least 25% recycled materials. To do this I must first write an ACCESS FM design specification, analyse similar products and research my theme." The project is assessed following a Dragon's Den style pitch at the end of the project. It was created for a full 20 week project but could be reduced for shorter rotations. It also includes images of handouts to be printed for the pupils. It includes: Health & Safety The Design Process Specification/ACCESS FM Product Analysis Moodboards Fabrics & Fastenings Excellent V's Poor Design Scheme of Work/Manufacture Plans Sustainability 6R's Supply Chain Transparency (Fashion Revolution) Sewing Machine Parts Activity CAD/CAM Applique Hand Sewing Stencil Print Block Print Tie-Dye Batik Seams Final Design Making Instructions Evaluation (7 slides) Dragon's Den Pitch Assessment (Home work and lines/detention slides) You can also buy the supporting instructional video of how to assemble the toys separately or as part of a bundle in my shop!
