Young people from Dundee have brighter futures sewn up after stitching their way to a new qualification in garment production. The SQA Kindred Clothing Award was completed by six youngsters at Baldragon Academy as part of the school day.
Initially offered as a pilot programme, the high school is now adopting the programme permanently as part of its curriculum, alongside other vocational courses in areas like beekeeping, gardening and artisanal coffeemaking. Of the six graduates from the pilot scheme, two have already secured placements with Dundee-based businesses to keep building on their sewing skills.
The course was delivered with the help of a number of local enterprises in fashion, PR and photography. Showing off their creations today were Charlie Henderson, Paige Fyffe, Samantha Haxton and Chloe Morrison.
