experiment 1 - zerowaste subcut something?

idea = sew bits of fabric together to make one big flat peice, subcut bodice and tunnel technique. do not cut any fabric out with sub cut pattern = zerowaste design.

fabric sewn - wovens!


sub cut - lines to cut - nothing taken out!

fabric draped over dummy - seam opened to create neck hole.
tunnel creation - joining hem to hole made from sewing only side seam.

back - tunnel created a sort of sleeve

Front - one side detached kimono sleeve, the other a twisted tunnel

back - hood created from xtra fabric at back.

this garment was made from definitive choices which resulted in
