GARMENT STORIES

For some reason I thought this was the third zero-waste design I made, but it’s actually the second zero-waste garment I finished.

This is the first zero-waste garment I designed and made for LyndenTree Designs. Actually, come to think of it it might be the first zero-waste garment I ever made. 

Sewing is a highly technical, powerful skill that has been criminally devalued by patriarchy and capitalism.

Zero-waste design gets rid of the problem of what to do with scraps by not making them in the first place. It values the fabric, and the work and resources that went into making the fabric.
