Design statement:
This project is about zero waste fashion. Zero waste fashion has been very popular these years, and I am also very interested about it, and excited about this project. For this project, we asked to do a zero waste hoodie. For the fabric, I choose a bonded scuba, which one side is knit. I think this fabric has been used very well in my hoodie, due to the fabric can be used in both sides. After sketching my design, I felt it was hard to follow my original design but also consider zero waste. I was struggled with the hoodie pattern when I start to create my garment. However, it comes out successfully. Additionally, I used a zipper to connect two asymmertical pattern in the front, and also use the serger to lock edges and to connecting patterns.It is a brand new experience and it will let me keep thinking about how to design something that is benefit for the environment.
