Sewist’s Appetite

The message of the project

The project plan was to create garment patterns for contemporary wardrobe staples. 

Digital patterns are supported with carefully created manuals and videos, providing a step-by-step guide to teach luxury, current and traditional craftsmanship techniques. Moreover, the manual guids individuals to make crucial fit adjustments according to their specific needs, offering a valuable bonus typically absent in similar products. 

Sewist’s Appetite aspires to create a product advocating for a more sustainable way of living. By promoting home-sewing garments, the project aims to make small steps towards minimizing the mass production of fast fashion. Its mission is to share knowledge, teach craftsmanship techniques for hand-sewing and encourage individuals to unleash their creativity while making a luxury, personalized garment.

The idea behind the project

The DIY phenomenon started in the 19th century, but the interest in home sewing has blossomed in the past years, especially during the recent pandemic. The trend sparked the innovative idea of offering a product that will underpin makers’ know-how and push their creativity and product execution to a new level.

Not only is sharing knowledge an added value to garment patterns. It also touches on the idea of preserving the knowledge of handmade garment craftsmanship, which is slowly dying due to the fast mass production of garments.

What next?

The project's goals extend beyond creating initial garments; it aims to share knowledge that can be applied to future home-sewing projects.
