HOW IT WORKS

When you add a contribution to your order, 100% of that money is used to pay for additional carbon removal.

Description
Zero Waste Patterns by Birgitta Helmersson teaches a puzzle-like approach to garment making: plan each piece from edge to edge, draw directly on the fabric, then cut and sew the full length. Turn a length of fabric into clothing you’ll wear, without leaving a trail of scraps or paper patterns behind. The result feels thoughtful and freeing, especially for sewists ready to move beyond conventional patterns.
Made of:
Five foundational zero-waste pattern blocks for a T-shirt, skirt, tank top, shirt, and trousers, plus fifteen variations created by adjusting and combining those shapes. The book includes instructions for core sewing techniques, natural fabrics, pattern layouts, and templates for sizes UK 6–30 / US 2–26, for a total collection of 20 Scandinavian-style garments.
Made for:
Beginner and experienced sewists who want to reduce textile and paper waste, learn self-drafting with less intimidation, and build a versatile handmade wardrobe. Useful for slow-fashion makers who enjoy simple silhouettes and patterns that can evolve into new designs.
