Winslow Coleman Capstone

For my Capstone, I made 3 pieces of clothing using recycled fabric and garments that I no longer wear. My project revolved around sewing a unique t-shirt, hoodie, and sweatpants using the skills I learned along this process. In this day and age, it has become too common for people to discard clothes they don’t like or that have sustained minor damage. This project inspired me to reduce my overall clothing consumerism, while also teaching myself about sustainability through learning how to sew and mend. I want to promote using your old clothes to make new ones, and/or mending previously discarded clothes instead of repurchasing the same items brand-new.
