Zero waste

  • Sarah Yaccabe

Garments are created Zero Waste by using whole pieces of fabric or using up off cuts to create accessories. Some designs are multi-functional with detachable sleeves or the option to re-size the garment.

The jumpsuit was created using a zerowaste pattern. It includes side pockets and a drawstring at the waist to adjust the size from 10 to 14. The hair tie was made using left over material.
Long semi fitted dress made with genuine African wax print cotton. This print was created as a tongue and cheek response to lockdown, the print depicts chains and traditional african houses, it was named the "stay at home" print. The fabric is 100% cotton and a genuine wax print made in Ghana by artisans working under fair trade conditions.
Leftover fabric from the long dress pattern were used to create small accessories; hair tie, scrunchie, face covering and triangular pouch bag
