Final Designs for #DIYwithIOU @source4style @theiouproject

Here are the final images! My favorite piece is the reversible jacket and the scarf made from the madras scraps. I loved the opportunity to work with wovens again and the challenge I gave myself of creating a zero waste collection. Thanks for following my design process and for your feedback!

Knitting the last of the scrap #diywithiou @source4style @theiouproject

I'm knitting the last bit of the left over scrap and in about 2 hours the whole collection will be done! I'm so excited! I've really loved having the chance to work with such a gorgeous hand woven fabric. It's always a fun challenge to step outside of your comfort zone with design. I'll share photos of the collection this afternoon. Thanks again for your support and feedback!

Piecing together a vest from scraps # diywithiou @source4style @iouproject

I have just a few more large scraps left, I'm piecing them together to see if they'll work as a vest. If not then I'll cut them up and add them to the scrap scarf. Excited to share the final collection tomorrow night!

Sewing the last of the scraps #diywithiou @source4style @iouproject

I've really loved figuring out creative ways to use the little bits of Madras scraps. I'm wrapping up sewing each of the garments tonight and realized there were a few teeny scraps too small to knot into the scarf sew I figured I'd sew them into one long strand to knit into the scarf instead!

It's so fun to create a garment from scraps! I've been knitting for so long that I forgot how much I love to drape!
