Zero-waste Shopper

This versatile bag bridges the worlds of zero-waste sewing and handweaving to create a functional and sustainable object.

The weave structure of this project is an interpretation of the classic overshot design, Whig Rose. This traditional pattern, renowned for its intricate and elegant motifs, has been reimagined with a modern, block motif in the center.
By combining a wool tabby with a cotton pattern weft, the design gains rich texture and dimension. After washing and pressing, the wool shrinks, bringing the smooth cotton to the forefront against the matte wool background.
This interplay creates a striking visual effect, highlighting the intricate motifs of the adapted Whig Rose pattern.
