Sewing Clothes : Zero Waste Wardrobe
Led by Stitchery Founder Cassandra Belanger, this is an 11 week, in-depth introduction to creating a zero waste wardrobe at Central Scotland School of Craft, starting on Wednesday 6th September.
About Sewing Clothes : Zero Waste Wardrobe
Wednesdays: 6th September - 29th November
As avid champions of sustainable crafting, we’re super excited to have Cass Belanger, who is an international authority on the subject, teaching this specially devised class on sewing clothes the zero waste way.
Cass is a founding member of the Zero Waste Design Collective, and has put together this course that explores specialised patterns that utilise every inch of your fabric, as well as ways to upcycle old garments and accessories into new textiles ready to make new again.
Projects you’ll complete throughout the course include zero waste shorts or trousers, perfect for the coming summer, or super comfy as jammies, a super useful zip pocket bag that you can wear across your shoulder or as a bumbag, a full set of super cute paper samples of different garments that you can progress to make on your own, including jackets, trousers, dresses, t-shirts and more, creating new fibres and textiles from old to use in your zero waste projects and finally a garment of your own choice, using all the amazing sustainable skills you have learned.
The first half of each lesson will be focused on learning a new zero waste garment by making paper or quarter scale samples as well as specific sewing techniques for making zero waste garments and accessories. You will be taught how to minimise waste in conventional sewing pattern cutting layouts and how to recycle any waste that you do create, from the smallest scrap of fabric or length of thread. The second half will be a time where you can work from a zero waste sewing pattern of your choice and make a garment for yourself.
All body shapes and sizes welcome. We are a LGBTQI+ friendly and safe space. People of all genders, sizes, and backgrounds are welcome and encouraged to attend this course.
