this was my first experiment to use up tiny fabric scraps. i stuck the pieces together with water soluble fabric glue then sewed a grid over the fabric to secure, before washing off the glue. it’s since survived several wears and washes!

the process was tedious but on the upside it didn’t require a base fabric to sew on to. i would like to try other methods in future, could a flour paste replace the synthetic glue?

Throughout their time at the workshop, millions of #FabricScraps have gotten another chance at a new life as parts of #artworks, tote bags, shirts & more. These products were created by #VụnArt’s nearly 40 #artisans, all living with different forms of #disabilities. The workers come from all walks of life, but, under the roof of Vụn Art, have come together to make a living from their own labor & creativity, like pieces of a tapestry existing to make life more enjoyable.
