We’re upcycling textile offcuts to produce ecoDesigned Garments. ecoDesigns Textile Upcycled Product of the Week
At @ecodesigns, we are collecting textile offcuts from Tailors and Fashion designers around the city of Bamenda and producing #ecoDesigned Garments.
The steps involved in the production of our ecodesigned garments include;

1. Collection of the textile offucts

2. Shaping and Sizing the textile offcuts to be of same sizes

3. Sewing the offcuts together to produce the #ecodesigned fabric. Once we have the #ecodesigned fabric made, we can now use it to sew our #ecodesigned garments.

4. Design, cut and sew the #ecodesigned garment of your choice.

Some of our #ecodesigned garments produced can be seen below.

We can do more but we lack materials and machines to increase our textile recycling and women empowerment project. We have 11 trainees and 02 Training Directors but have just 06 machines which are not enough for the 13 young girls who are striving to get empowered as well as clean-up the world. It is for this reason that @ecodesigns is striving to raise funds to purchase 7 machines so that we can double our productivity and improve the effectiveness and efficiency of our textile recycling and fashion designing training.

I love these designs! They remind me of the patchwork items we used to make in the seventies. Lots of color and fun.

It’s always colorful and beautiful and we hope to encourage more persons to do this in a bid to reduce textile pollution that results from textile offcuts

These are very beautiful designs. I really love what you all are doing. Thank you for sharing the steps of how you create your newly fashioned and colorful garments.

Thanks @crosheille and we are happy to be part of the creative #needlework family

That dress modelled by the girl looks really lovely and elegant.
