GCSE Textiles Rescue – Mock Run and Fell Seam

Ages 14-16

This three minute instructional video demonstrates how to create a mock run and fell seam, a strong construction technique that produces a neat, professional finish.

Clear, step by step instructions guide students through stitching the seam, pressing the seam allowances to one side and adding a second line of stitching to secure the layers. The video also explains where this type of seam may be used and how careful measuring, accurate stitching and pressing contribute to the finished result.

This resource is ideal for helping GCSE students develop their practical skills, improve the accuracy and quality of their textile work, and demonstrate a wider range of construction techniques within assessed projects.
