SEWING WITHOUT SCRAPS - TOKYO WORKSHOPS
This spring, Mirai Pattern's book, "Zero Waste Adult Clothes - Sewing Without Scraps" (published by Nippon Vogue), will be released!
This book brings together a new world of sewing that uses up all of the fabric, known as zero-waste cutting.
To commemorate its publication, Sae from Mirai Pattern has invited Danielle Elsener, a leading expert in zero-waste cutting, from New York to hold a special one-time workshop.
English support will be provided, so there is no need to worry about language barriers.
Beginners are also welcome!

At the end of this class you will leave with an introductory understanding of zero waste design, a tool for drafting future shorts and one completed zero waste short.
