This D&T video introduces pupils to the cross stitch — a decorative sewing technique used to add pattern and texture to textiles projects. The video demonstrates each step clearly, from threading the needle and anchoring stitches to creating neat, symmetrical crosses and finishing off securely. Pupils are encouraged to focus on accuracy and patience while developing fine motor skills.

This video is part of Kapow Primary’s Design and Technology Textiles resources. It supports Key Stage 2 pupils in developing core stitching techniques and confidence with hand sewing.
