Using natural fabrics and core sewing techniques, learn how to stitch without waste and make a scandistyle collection of 20 garments. Zero waste pattern cutting is a bit like a puzzle. You use a predetermined 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 tshirt, 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 UK 630/US 226.
