A little(ish) video with FAQs on DECODE and my journey with zero waste design! I talk a bit about client work, education, challenges of the industry, and my favorite garments to design. Inspired by my work with @portlandfashioninstitute students who encouraged me to make some filmed content in response to my most frequently asked questions (...and to actually post it. lol)
What else would you like to know? I'm an open book, comment or DM and I'll work on some follow up videos :)
This shirt wastes nothing, not even a single scrap!
The pattern you're seeing is from Sewing Without Scraps, out May 2nd, and if you want to make it yourself, I'm teaching live workshops May 7 & 8 in Tokyo with @miraipattern
このシャツは、端切れひとつ残さず、素材を一切無駄にしていません!
ご覧いただいているこの型紙は、5月2日に発売される書籍『Sewing Without Scraps』に掲載されているものです。もしご自身で作ってみたいという方がいらっしゃいましたら、5月7日と8日に東京にて、@miraipattern と共にライブワークショップを開催いたします。

People think zero waste fashion means big, boxy, and shapeless. They're wrong!
I designed and made this dress to wear to my friend's @leahparkdesign & @ian.brady_ wedding in Seoul.
Zero waste, with not a scrap left on the cutting table.
Every single centimeter of this fabric is on my body! The pattern pieces fit together like a puzzle, with absolutely nothing left behind.
And it fits like a dream 😊
Interested in sewing this pattern? It's not officially on my list to make available, but I could be swayed...
Fabric is 100% linen from @moodfabrics
Bag is @pleatsmama
Boots are @tecovas

Me Made May day...2? Time means nothing when you're traveling and jetlagged!! My wardrobe is about 85% DECODE pieces this trip and it brings me so much joy.
Featuring:
- Unreleased zero waste tie vest in cotton ripstop
- B04_Zero_Waste_Shorts pattern adjusted to be longer. Dip dyed blue on white cotton ripstop (pattern can be found in my shop!)
- Thrifted button up (illegal for MMM?)
I'll be posting making videos of these pieces over the next few weeks ☺️

Zero Waste Zine Club V4 - The Zero Waste Travel Case is a pattern born out of necessity. Over the last few years I’ve travelled a lot. Like A LOT. I got fed up with using the same crappy pouch that never worked quite right.
So I designed this!
The Zero Waste Travel Case is a zero waste pattern for a structured, heavy-duty pouch that actually holds its shape. Fits your life, your bag, and your sustainability values, in that order.
Join the club & this project via link in bio!
