The core of the study is embedded in its title, referring to textile waste and apparel. In line with the increased post-consumer waste in our landfills, there are serval ways of targeting sustainable fashion. This work, therefore, aims to focus on handcrafted clothing using mainly low-valued cotton waste, for the creation of textile surfaces. Additionally, with inspiration from the traditional papermaking technique, where textile waste is altered into rag paper, this work wishes to emphasize the process of textile making, adapted in a fashion context.
