    Summary

    This is a project where old clothing and other fabrics can be recycled. Using laser technology, the fabrics are cut into special pieces that can easily be assembled together. This allows the creation of larger fabric sheets that can be used for new clothing designs. Each piece creates a unique pattern, telling the story of its previous use, while crafting something new and contributing to sustainability. There are nearly no limits to size and creativity.
    
    The puzzle piece developed is sized in such a way that even smaller dismantled clothing items can be efficiently used. Of course, you are free to scale the design as needed.
    
    I have tested many different fabrics, and the best results were achieved with material compositions ranging from 100% polyester to 60% polyester + 40% cotton. I used former workwear, which was mainly composed of a 70% polyester + 30% cotton blend.
     This work only with woven fabrics.
    
    Each fabric reacts a little differently, so you’ll need to experiment. Have fun!
