Abstract

The Fashion industry has developed into fast fashion. Various brands and labels produce clothing every year by following mode and trends. There are more than 400 billion square meters of fabric produced into clothing in a year where 15 percent of the fabric ends up as waste. In other words, 60 billion square meters of fabric are being discarded every year. This fabric waste is one of the contributors to environmental pollution. Creating a zero-waste pattern design is one of the solutions to reduce fabric waste. The challenge is that not everyone can work on the zero waste pattern. Therefore, it requires the creation of a zero-waste pattern design that is easy to do even by ordinary people. The zero-waste pattern created in this study is simple but it can be combined with two pieces of cloth. One sheet of fabric can be created into two different clothing modes. People can be creative by using different fabric motifs combined and matched based on their creativity and tastes. As more people can make their zero-wastes clothing, it is hoped that fashion waste can be reduced. There are four creations of zero waste pattern design from two main zero-waste patterns that will be discussed in this paper.
