Blue linen-cotton duster coat on a sewing form, next to giant dusty windows.

Blue linen-cotton duster coat being modelled by very silly middle aged woman, trying to show of cuff frills and leggings that have poetry written on them, in a small dressing room that has lime-green walls.

Photo when blue fabric was laying flat on a floor to be cut according to the pattern. (In photo are also classic orange colour Fiskars fabric scissors.) It's clever pattern that uses the whole fabric that is in 2 layers, every corner and extra bit is used inside the finished coat.

It's finished, at least with the #sewing machine, I will do buttons as my evening chore next week.
Optimatium duster coat/dress, pattern by Liz Haywood on issue9 @taukomagazine.bsky.social . First #zerowastepattern I've tried and it's clever imo.

Did I write a book mostly for myself to fill the gap in my wardrobe? Maybe... 👀😆 I just wanted to create pieces that truly fit my style, comfort, and needs—while reducing cutting waste as much as possible.
You’d have done the same, right?

My BF usually sews bike gear. For EOTY he decided to make his first-ever Tshirt using the diy book I just published. I feared he’d hate the experience and say my book is shit..
Spoiler: He said it might make a second version. We can marry now

A woman with curly hair poses against a minimalist gray concrete wall, wearing a wrap dress with an asymmetrical hemline. The dress features a light-colored fabric with a delicate pink and blue pattern. She extends one arm gracefully to the side, and she pairs the outfit with white sneakers. The setting has a blue floor, adding a subtle contrast to the neutral background

arranged fabric layplan on a wooden table, showcasing an efficient zero-waste cutting layout. The fabric features a light blue background with a pink and blue abstract pattern resembling shoes. Various rectangular and curved pieces are precisely cut and positioned to maximize fabric use. In the background, a woven basket and a mannequin stand are visible, suggesting a sewing or design workspace

Can’t quite believe it’s been 6 years since I released my 1st #zerowastepattern under the indie name MILAN AV-JC. This wrap dress still feels really special to me.
⬇️The pattern is available for free here. Ideal for beginners!
