There are many steps that go into producing a garment. From the initial idea and design sketching, to drafting and testing the patterns for fit, fabric sourcing, cutting and sewing -creating any garment is a labor of love.
Inevitably, as we cut out the pattern pieces for a particular piece we are making, we are left with other, smaller, leftover pieces of the same fabric. Oftentimes, these pieces are too small to create another garment so what is a gal to do?
There is always an option of throwing it away. But this option is very unsustainable and wasteful because it contributes to unecessary fashion production waste and gets rid of fabric pieces that are of perfect quality. So this gal decided to use them to create something new and beautiful in celebration of a brighter and more sustainable fashion future.
