Material Reinvention Developing Sustainable Textiles from Fabric Waste Streams
Abstract
This study explores the transformation of scrap fabrics into innovative textile surfaces through experimental techniques such as slashing, layering, and stitching. In this process, fabric scraps are inserted and revealed through cuts, creating depth, texture, and a unique visual effect. The use of raw edges, loose threads, and contrasting materials highlights the hidden beauty of discarded fabrics. This approach supports sustainability by reducing textile waste and promoting the reuse of available materials. It also encourages a more responsible and creative design process, showing how waste can be transformed into functional and expressive textiles for contemporary fashion applications.
