We waste so many things in this world, and it's not ok with me for this to happen continuously, the fashion world we live in with its wasteful fashion system is one rooted system that needs some help to change. These things are never easy but with a little experimentation and open thought about processes and ideas taking form we can work towards a better zerowaste ethical fashion creation.
In thinking this way and researching the current fashion system and those wanting to see some change i have found one area of fashion creation others do not see. This is creating clothing from waste fabrics the 15% left on the cutting room floor. I have discovered that if you collect enough of similar fabrics you can easily create more clothing from this, It is a process of sorting, laying out, draping on form and sewing whilst draping. It is an intuitive way of making clothing, fitting them around the form and piecing negative spaces together. The use of gathering and pleating is also utilised to create ease.
I have found this process to be very delightful and easy to do. It is as if the fabric knows where it fits and has a home already!!
This is just the start!!!
peace!!
