Almost half of the fibres in the textile industry are discarded as waste, and even hand-sewing results in a lot of material being thrown away. Historical cutting patterns often consisted of straight-cut panels and squares in order to be economical. These formed the starting point for my work “T×a×n×g×r×a×m”: a zero-waste cutting pattern consisting of 18 geometrical pattern pieces that form a rectangle and function like the puzzle game that gives it its name. By combing the various pattern pieces, various items of clothing and accessories can be laid out and cut out and produced without scraps.
