Objectives: The aim of this study was to create an educational video, which portrays how to sew a t- shirt, so that with the support of the video students would be able to learn the pro-cess independently. Theoretical basis for developing was formed on the concepts of learn-ing of skills, self-determination and video learning material. Learning of skills is strongly practice-based, led by an example given by a skilled maker (teacher). Self-determination theory is -- agency Methodology Making of the thesis was guided by the principles of design-based research. A developing team consisting of the author of this thesis and a textile craft teacher, whose students would also test and use the material, carried out the design project. To determine usability, sev-enth grade students tested the created video. Data collected consisted of careful documen-tation of the whole design process. Methods of documentation include notes of design meetings, interviews, and notes made while observing testing. Collected data was analysed using qualitative content analysis. The design process and results were described in chronological order in a so-called development depiction. Results and conclusions The project fortified the understanding that well designed video as such is not enough to serve all students. Therefore the implementation of the video should be considered early in the process. Now only those students who were already capable of independent work were able to benefit from the video. Nonetheless, as such the video made the teacher’s work easier, and the students working with the video were able to advance in their work.
