It takes 700 gallons of water to make one t-shirt
I have always been struck by the impact of fast fashion.
Inspired by this I created a brand called 700 gallons as a student project.
I upcycled jackets into fanny packs by recycling the fabric and zippers.
I am passionate about up-cycling and trying to impact the world in a positive way.
700 Gallons
At first I used a pattern to cut out around 16 pieces from the jacket fabric and then sew all of them together. This still wasted a lot of materials. Then I realized I could use the pockets that already existed.
The process I came up with created 2 fanny packs per jacket, used only one line of stitching, and didn't require any complicated sewing. Here's a gallery of fanny packs from that design.
