Helen : What? I love using forms that needed a stuffing for scrap busting. It’s so handy. Closet Core Patterns has that free pouf pattern that you can sew up out of scraps and then fill with scraps. I mean, how great is that?Zero Waste Patterns offers a modern approach to sustainable sewing. Using natural fabrics and core sewing techniques, learn how to stitch without waste and make a scandi-style collection of 20 garments. There’s no specialized software for making zero-waste patterns. Software for regular patterns isn’t suitable because the patternmaking, size grading, and layout functions are all separate.
