Update: Materials pattern cutting/sewing/textile techniques using waste materials workshop

Hello, world!

During the past week, I have been searching and coming up with ideas for the sustainable project I am working on. After attending a few different workshops and lectures, I was inspired to use waste materials as my source with various types of fabrics. For instance, I used waste materials such as wires, plastic bags, ribbons, and other similar items during my previous workshop. My group and I have been working toward using blue and green as a color palette throughout the project. Throughout last week’s workshop, I attended, we were instructed to bring an old shirt with us to make a yarn by cutting up the shirt! It was my first time doing it after following the instructions in the workshop, and I was excited when I learned how to do it. It was successful, and I used it to stitch into waste materials. It was a new creative idea that I created throughout the workshop, and I was very satisfied with the output of the yarn that I had made, and it was enjoyable to use that yarn to stitch.

I have documented the steps on creating the yarn below 🙂
