Less fabric and paper waste: Without having to print full scale paper patterns for all pieces you save on a lot of paper, and you will have little to no fabric waste during the cutting and sewing process!\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eZero waste pattern cutting is a bit like a puzzle. It is a method of pattern drafting where you utilise a length of fabric end to end by strategically planning your pattern pieces so that everything is used. This pattern does not require printing of large pattern pieces, instead you draw your pattern pieces directly onto your fabric with the aid of a cutting plan and templates. We love working with this method for 3 reasons:\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e1. More flexibility: This method allows for easy changes such as using different fabric widths and making simple fit and design changes yourself. Using patterns that fit into a zero waste square or rectangular block is a very efficient way to work. It means that it is easier to patchwork together remnants or use left over fabrics you already have lying around.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e2. An easy way to learn to self draft your own patterns : Working this way will help you to start building a toolbox of skills, and you will learn an alternative method of self drafting your own sewing patterns, which are super easy for beginners to understand.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003ePDF Pattern\/Instruction Booklet: Includes measurements in both metric (centimetres) and US imperial (inches). Booklet\/Templates are printable on both A4 or US Letter Paper size. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSewing Level: Confident Beginner\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe Zero Waste (ZW) Cropped Shirt is an oversized style which has an attached neck band with buttons and button holes.
