In Textile Technology class, students engaged in meaningful service projects focused on sustainability and community impact by repurposing scrap fabric into functional and beautiful items. These projects aimed to benefit local charity shops and global organisations blending creativity with purpose.

The process began with students identifying the needs of their chosen organisation. For local charity shops, they created items like repurposed shirts, gift bags, ornaments, hand warmers, and pet items designed to be practical and appealing for resale. For Dress a Girl Around the World, some students chose to design and craft simple, durable dresses for children in need, ensuring that the receiving children's gift matched the organisation's mission to make sure a girl feels respected and loved.

Using the design process, students planned their projects by sketching initial ideas and selecting materials from a collection of donated or leftover fabric scraps. The challenge of working with irregular pieces encouraged innovative thinking, as students combined colors, textures, and patterns in creative ways.

Next, they created prototypes to test functionality and durability. For instance, dresses were examined for proper fit and secure stitching. Feedback from peers and teachers guided refinements before students produced their final products.

These projects not only provided tangible benefits to recipients but also deepened students’ understanding of global needs, sustainability, and the value of giving back. By turning scrap fabric into meaningful products, students combined environmental responsibility with community service, demonstrating how creativity and skill in textiles can make a positive, lasting impact locally and globally.
