Zero Waste Patterns – Sew sustainably and stylishly with minimal waste
Zero Waste Patterns is an inspiring book for anyone who wants to combine creative sewing with a more sustainable approach to making clothes. Using natural fabrics, basic sewing techniques and an innovative approach to pattern cutting, you can learn how to create garments while making the most of every piece of fabric.
Zero waste pattern cutting works much like a puzzle. You start with a predetermined length of fabric and strategically arrange the pattern pieces from one edge to the other. This allows you to use the fabric as efficiently as possible while reducing unnecessary textile waste. The unique paperless pattern-cutting method also minimizes the need for traditional paper patterns, making the process both practical and environmentally conscious.
The book introduces 5 simple zero waste pattern blocks: a T-shirt, a skirt, a tank top, a shirt and a pair of trousers. By making simple modifications and mixing and matching the different blocks, you can create an additional 15 garments and variations. In total, the book provides the foundation for a collection of 20 modern garments with a Scandinavian-inspired aesthetic.
The patterns are available in UK sizes 6–30 / US sizes 2–26, making the book suitable for a wide range of body shapes and sizes. Clear instructions guide you through the process and help take the fear out of learning how to construct and sew your own clothes.
Once you have mastered the five basic blocks, the creative possibilities are almost endless. Experiment with different fabrics, proportions, details and combinations to develop garments that suit your personal style.
Zero Waste Patterns is an excellent choice for both beginners who want to explore an alternative approach to garment making and experienced sewists looking for a more sustainable and creative way to build their wardrobe.
Create clothing with less waste, less paper and more creative freedom.
