The use of cutting waste fabrics in garment design processes with natural dye applications: a fabrication model

The idea of designing products from fabric waste is not new in clothing applications. The main idea of the applications lies in the development of production methods that do not harm humans and the environment. The demand for clothing products is increasing, which does not pollute the environment and respects natural resources. Which increases environmental sensitivity with consumer awareness. This demand has increased efforts to evaluate textile waste with sustainable methods. Clothing collections with high added value prepared with waste materials are becoming more important in the designer-producer and consumer triangle day by day. Nowadays, natural dye applications with waste fabrics are evaluated as a different approach for clothing designers. And the rich images on waste fabrics that are obtained with these applications. In the study were conducted textile surface experiments with sage, tea, linden, pear peel, ginger, turmeric and cinnamon peel on waste fabric Sile cloth using different mordant materials. The method of the research was carried out in two stages. At the first stage, coloring recipes with the application of natural dyes were created. In the second stage, the design processes are included in the capsule collection. And the collection has been completed with 3D modeling and prototyping, which are one of the indispensable applications of the sector. The collection is aimed with the development of a production model with a strong environmental aspect. The findings from the research have shown that the garment design process has developed differently from the standard production models of natural dye applications with waste fabrics. The biggest difference is the uniquenessfeature brought to the clothing collections.
