My college graduation project was an exploration into the realm of sustainable natural fibres, a journey that led me to craft a series of cushion covers. With a firm commitment to sustainability, I embarked on the meticulous task of hand-weaving each panel using an assortment of natural yarns provided by our partnering company.

Initial weaving sketches
Driven by a passion for eco-conscious practices, I delved into the intricate art of natural dyeing, infusing select fibres with hues extracted from organic sources. Experimenting with various weaving techniques, I aimed to showcase the inherent versatility and beauty of natural fibres while emphasizing their environmental advantages.
The culmination of my endeavours yielded a collection of ready-to-sew cushion cover panels, each imbued with the unmistakable mark of artisanal craftsmanship and sustainable innovation. These panels were then entrusted to the skilled hands of the company's in-house artisans, who expertly stitched them together to create finished products that seamlessly marry aesthetic allure with ethical sourcing.

Through this project, I not only refined my skills as a weaver and designer but also played a role in advancing sustainable practices within the textile industry. It serves as a testament to the transformative potential of natural fibres, inspiring creativity while championing a more environmentally conscious approach to textile production.
The Final Collection!
