When fashion is mass produced, there is often several layers of fabric laid up and cut out according to a pattern. Most of the time the pattern pieces can not be laid up without leaving several areas of waste in between. I would like to obtain the waste pieces of fabric from several different articles of clothing, and use them to create a new textile. Ideally, the pieces could be sewn together to take best advantage of different colours, textures, patterns, etc. Once the pieces were all sewn together, the fabric could be trimmed into a standard bolt length and resold as a 'new' textile.
Near the beginning you can see how the fabric is rolled out in layers, and then cut out according to the pattern piece.
