CLO3D is one of the most powerful tools in a zero waste designer's kit, but only if you know how to use it with the constraint in mind from the start.
In this course, @stitcherystudio and @decodecodecode are returning to teach you how to design zero waste directly in 3D. Every pattern piece counts, every pixel of fabric is accounted for before you cut a single thing.
This is not a CLO3D basics course. It's zero waste design methodology, applied in a digital environment. Our first course was a smash hit and we're excited to bring it back in 2026.

We’re so excited to finally introduce Cut to Zero. ✂️🌍
Over the last six years Danielle Elsener @decodecodecode and Cassandra Belanger @stitcherystudio have been working together to develop educational content, design solutions and community within the wonderful world of zero waste design. We co-founded @zwdcollective along with @holly__mquillan , an absolute star in the zero waste design world. We’ve worked with industry, universities, COP26, tailors, brands and educators. We developed the Making Zero Waste project with our team @designers_consociate and @moragseaton in West Africa. It’s been quite an adventure!
Our shared passion for accessible education and enthusiasm for zero waste design has led to our expertise being shared through workshops and design events around the world from Eastern Europe to America to West Africa and more. And here we are now… launching a Zero Waste Design Consultancy - Cut to Zero!
We approach zero waste design from both a creative and practical angle, combining design thinking with real-world industry experience. Through presentations, demonstrations and hands-on exploration, we focus on sharing ideas that people can actually put into practice. We welcome different perspectives and aim to open up a broader, more holistic way of thinking about zero waste design.
Over the next few posts we’ll introduce ourselves individually and share a bit more about the paths that brought us here.
For now, we’re just really happy to finally share this with you.
Welcome to Cut to Zero!

We visited @stitcherystudio this weekend. The session introduced zero-waste garment construction using open-source systems from Make/Use and Decode.
Zero-waste methods connect directly to how materials circulate on CAN, where textiles and fabric appear regularly across listings and events. It was also a good chance to meet other makers exploring similar approaches.
The Stitchery’s workshops are listed on CAN in the Skills section. Add your workshops to CAN and lets keep building!
