About this deal

By using every inch of fabric, you can not only save money in the long run but by reducing fabric waste, you are helping to reduce the environmental impact of the fashion industry. This is a great way to contribute to a more sustainable future. But remember - zero waste is never zero - so any "zero waste fashion" option is creating some sort of waste or environmental impact. Imperfect system, imperfect answers. Still, there are definitely ways to drastically reduce the impact fast fashion and excessive consumption has on the planet.

While not always included in "zero waste fashion", a large part of having a low carbon footprint in your closet is appreciating second hand or thrifted clothing.Sizing: 0 – 34 (approx. UK 6 – 34, based on our standardised size chart). Available in the shop: PDF or PDF + printed copy shop. An easy way to learn to self-draft your own patterns. Working this way will help you to start building a toolbox of skills, and you will learn an alternative method of self drafting which is super easy for beginners to understand.

Criswood sews also has a collection of zero waste instructions designed for beginners, including the immensely popular Envelope dress.

As patternmakers get used to this way of making patterns and get better and better at it, we will see more patterns and interesting garments.

Some of our favorites are listed below! As well as her book of patterns, you can also find several Birgitta Helmersson zero waste sewing patterns online for sale. TheBirgitta Helmersson patterns include At its heart, it's an oxymoron. You can't produce new things and ever be "zero waste". But just like the zero waste movement as a whole, it's more about the spirit of attempting harm reduction toward the planet than anything else. When talking about sustainability in the fashion industry (and, by extension, in home sewing), one of the concepts that comes up often is zero-waste design (or sewing patterns). It’s a very interesting approach, that looks at the pattern cutting process in a completely different way, resulting in shapes that are functional, simple looking, but also very cleverly assembled at the same time.
