REFLECTION:
This is my first time to deal with zero waste garment. I was scared that if I do zero waste, and cannot keep mine design anymore. I worked really hard on the measurement and calculating about my pattern lay out. Luckily, I came out a perfect pattern. And then I went to find the fabric that can fit my design. It was actually fun to explore a new type fabric that I never thought of to make clothes. Everyone was telling me don’t try any fabric that are stretch if you were a beginner. So I was worried about what gonna happen during constructing. I found a grayish blue color fabric that I loved so much. And I am a person really love surface decoration. Every time I went to pacific, I would definitely see if there were any buckles, bottoms, strips… that I could develop to my design. And my inspiration of my hoodie were also coming from buckles. I chose clear buckles and a sliverish gray color ribbon to my fabric. After cut all the fabric out, the most difficult thing is to set up those edge-lock machine. These machine almost made me crazy, but I feel that I can set up any machine without anyone’s help which is good. And I love the outcome.
