Bouclé Scrap Jacket - Reclaimed Materials

For this project I collected serger scraps bound for landfill and transformed them into a new textile.  I sorted and dyed serger scraps with indigo ,  then hand wove them into recycled and bamboo yarn weft using a traditional standing loom. The yardage was cut acording to a basic pattern and sewn into a medium weight cropped jacket. The resulting fabric possesses a boucle-effect reminiscent of couture clothing.
