Zero waste patterns : 20 projects to sew your own wardrobe / by Helmersson, Birgitta,author.; Bendixen, Emli,photographer.;
Includes bibliographical references and index.A modern guide to sustainable sewing for the home dressmaker. Zero Waste Blocks offers a modern approach to sustainable sewing. Using natural fabrics and core sewing techniques, learn how to stitch without waste and make a scandi-style collection of 20 garments. Zero waste pattern cutting is a bit like a puzzle. You use a pre-determined length of fabric end to end by strategically planning your pattern pieces so that everything is used and then draw them onto the fabric. By using this unique 'paperless' method you can eliminate both textile and paper waste from your sewing projects and take the fear out of learning to self draft and sew your own clothing. This book includes 5 simple zero waste pattern blocks-- a t-shirt, skirt, tank top, shirt and trousers. These can then be used to make a further 15 projects by making simple changes or mixing and matching your blocks into new designs, and comes with pattern layout instructions and templates to make sizes US 2-26. Once you have mastered the 5 blocks the possibilities are endless.
