Zero Waste Daniel Turns Clothing Scraps Into Fashion | NowThis

[@Pakster119]

I wish Daniel and his team huge success. We need people like him with bright ideas and talent to lead the world in a more sustainable way.

You are doing what my grandmother did for many years. She was born in 1900, and she would take old clothes, worn out clothes and make bedding out of it, for her children, of which, there were many. She never 'sold' any of her items, but just provided for her family. My grand would have really been able to use the money from her creations, but her poverty prevented her from doing so. Good video.

OMG i went threw my fabric yesterday and i filled a garbage bag with tiny scraps i had saved for years, Im pulling them out of the trash today after I sat here crying watching this, Thank you I think I have found my mission...much love

[@Realitybites13]

Rave Stitches I just started to sew all my scraps together from two years of making quilts for my family and friends. I’m making myself one now with all the scraps of the quilts I’ve made...

[@ravestitches8227]

Melby Mckechnie that’s awesome I actually made a quilt from my moms dresses I had sewn for her and gifted it to my dad ...

[@Realitybites13]

Wow great idea.

[@lyrarchi1933]

I thought I was weird for doing this because i havent seen anyone else do it but I am so impressed you have turned it into your main gig! I hope your still going with it!

[@DEVTHATSALL]

Where can you get fabric scraps at ?

[@judyreynolds305]

Reroll the leftovers into fabric, what is old is new again!! Renaming what our ancestors did!! Putting pieces together to make a usable piece of fabric!! The serger makes that process so fast!! I love it!! Saving soooo much more than money, the environment and giving someone a JOB!! Well done young man!! from this 62 year old grandmother

[@jackietschantz]

I’m a quilter. I’ve made several tshirt quilts. I have totes full of clothes from people who want a memorial quilt made from their loved ones clothes. This gives me the ideas and inspiration I was looking for. Great job.

[@JJ33438]

tHIS IS SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT! We need more of this. the pieces are lovely. God Bless these People for doing this. (I am going to try it at home.)

[@astroblue4891]

Wow that's really cool! Good luck!

[@SandcastleDreams]

No, this is called Cottage Industry and our Grandmothers and Greay Grandmother's and Aunts did this before all of our clothing manufacturing went to China! In fact, my blind and deaf neighbor learned to crochet rag rugs made out of cutaways. The women bought cutaways by the pound. She crocheted beautiful rag rugs and sold them. Her daughter Ruthie took me to the sportswear manufacturing company a couple of times. There were women all over the place buying these scraps. Some made rugs, some made quilts, some made toys. I was just amazed as I watched them carefully select the type of cutaway they would use. I helped Ruthie tear them into straps and we would wind them in balls. Sometimes, she would let me thread her needles. I would watch her make her rugs for hours. When I got older, the manufacturing started going overseas. Then the fabric mills started going overseas. It's gotten very difficult to source fabric from the cutting room floor. If you can source it, get as much of a supply as possible.

[@uppereastsidehoney4055]

I was searching on how to dispose my old clothes properly and then what i found is something that struck me. Now I want to study fashion design to help our environment. I wanna be like him.

[@es70]

Start by not buying a lot of clothes. Before we recycle, we should also slow down with how much trash we generate. And don't throw out something that can still be worn - just because the fashion industry wants you to get a new item..

[@devidaughter7782]

"you can get everything you want out of fashion, and still do it ethically" (3:50)

[@bettyochoa4099]

My mother used to bring home the pieces and make our clothes. This is so neat, congrats zero!!!! U want my scraps?

[@fisherpeyton2824]

You all prolly dont care but does any of you know of a tool to get back into an instagram account..? I somehow forgot the login password. I love any help you can offer me

[@knucklescapricorn31]

That mosaic of David Bowie has given me a lot of idea of what I can do with my fabric scraps. Thank you so much for sharing your story!

[@TheFredfredburger09]

I’m in love we need more people like him in this world😭😍😭😍

[@kuryjamique1423]

I promise I will,just wait for the store name BASAHAN

[@system2thinker659]

Be the change you wish to see in the world, the perfect example! All we need now is to copy Daniel 1,000 times!

[@endangeredidiot864]

Studying fashion design so that I can follow his example soon!

[@jannahhossain4321]

daniel.. youre my inspiration for life- your changing the face of fashion, HONESTLY!

[@MomAsol]

I’ve been doing this idea with my old fabrics and clothes you can make lots of used out of it from blankets, clothes, rugs, bags, kitchen towel and many more, the possibilities are endless Happy sewing.

[@Rockin_Rocio]

I’m not sure if you’d consider it or not, but as I’ve been learning a lot of alternatives on my zero waste journey, consider also making reusable feminine products. Reusable pads are great in my option and with so many patterns and small pieces it can totally be an option for you with the smaller things your not sure what to do with. ☺️ hope you love the idea.

[@chloe-dr4rk]

rocio cortez you can already get these online, but daniels a fashion designer and pads aren’t really fashion. idk but i don’t think that’s what he does

[@Widdekuu91]

@@chloe-dr4rk Well, why can't they be fashionable?

[@srrk3500]

Good idea. We should promote using reusable pads more. We can actually make them ourselves. I made my own reusable pads from old Tshirts, socks, and thick plastic bags. I made them S, M, L sizes for different days and nights. They were hand-sewn because I don't have a sewing machine. I haven't bought disposable pads for more than two years now. I'm so proud.

[@AaaaKrovushka]

@@srrk3500 wow, thank you for idea, I never knew it is possible, now I’ll read more and try to do mines! ☺️

[@Whitney_Sews]

I love making and using reusable feminine products! I actually did a sewing tutorial for them on my channel a few years back.

[@ASMRCountingSheep]

Perfection. Thank you for making a difference in our world and on the planet!!!!

[@9catlover]

we need a shop like this in every city really. i have decided to make my clothes now because i hate fast fashion.

[@lorrainedempsey3320]

Our country needs people like you in every line of work. You are brilliant, and have a beautiful heart for helping people. Thank you for your kindness to everyone. You are special to this planet. God bless your every endeavor. 👏👏👏🥰🥰🥰

[@jolienvsndijk]

Really cool concept, I'm very inspired to make something out of my own bag(s*) of scraps. But also that cutting tool they showed in the factory example just cut through that massive pile of fabric like it was butter! That's amazing.

[@sarahkinsey5434]

My quilter coworker uses her too small scraps to stuff pillowcases to make cat/dog beds. I want to try that to restuff my stuffed animal

[@joeycarter2678]

Brilliant! I love this guy. Thank you Daniel for helping to save the planet.

[@3c3ntric_3]

i have alwys been keeping every leftover fabrics from my mom's projects since forever because i feel like i would be using them someday but my mom always get annoyed with those 'junks' - she called - and ended up threwing them away but i still have some that i kept recently and actually made some things with them during this quarantine

[@leternelapprenti2695]

Awesome seriously we need more people like this ! Continue like that bro I wish you success

[@rebeccabrothers8056]

I like what he's doing, talk about recycling/fashioning, great process, I totally respect this!

[@janaabreu]

Love all about this!! Imagine all you can create with scraps! There's no limit really!

[@notyourmelody]

I hope you're still doing this. This is wonderful. 💜

[@Eccentric-YURR]

This is so awesome, I love how those shirts look like, especially the ones with faces on them. It works! I hope to buy one when I get money.

[@hetedeleambacht6608]

try making them yourself, its not as difficult as you probably think it is... and it will feel hugely satisfying, i grant you that

[@marisbaysacque5973]

My mom has been doing this since I was little. I’m almost 63 now and she’s 97 and still doing it. A tad slower now.

[@idontmindpineappleonpizza8825]

Definitely not the first person to use scraps for making full pieces of clothing but definitely one of if not the first companies to do this, and I think that is great.

[@lmacdonald1281]

This is such a fun DIY, Crafty, Eco esthetic. Totally on track!

[@rashmiverma5351]

Huge love for this man

[@Mountaingypsytrading]

I love this! I’ve been upcycling clothing, and this is soooo inspiring! 🤩

[@LW62FL]

You go, Kiddo!! Great on you; items are lovely, too! One of a kind!!

[@AthenaGM]

This is *ALL SO BEAUTIFUL!* ❤

[@michelegagnon5618]

It's so reassuring to see that this is happening.

[@sweetielen5276]

inspiring. we should not really underestimate those scrap fabric we can always recycle reused and make it a better one. i also doing this on my little own way.. hope i work for you soon and meet you in person daniel. God Bless from Phils.

[@anns.2621]

i love this idea!!! yes keep going Daniel is an inspiration to everyone

[@errohaze2683]

I love this! I really want to do this once I learn to sew. I've never really been fashionable, so my mom buys clothes for me or I wear hand-downs, but they're sometimes ugly or don't fit anymore. I'd love to take the clothes I don't wanna wear and turn it into something that I love!

[@francineinsogna2103]

this is so badass!!! thank you guys for what you do!! i was looking for ways to use my scraps and this is fantastic!!!!!

[@lovisamaanmies2983]

I love this! Ah, I literally had a big smile on my face the entire time

[@almalauha]

That's awesome! Very creative, and you get a unique garment.

[@studiovideo5991]

Good job! Every little bit helps, until we find permanent solutions. Quality and new thinking about consuming and producing is also a good beginning. Mass recycling of clothing on a global scale is crucial, and finding solutions for current mass waste and knowing how to eliminate wasted materials is crucial for the generations.

[@FatimaZahraHassan]

My grandmother did exactly the same thing. I learnt it from her.

[@sueg2456]

Thanks you have inspired me to try this at home. Watching from Melbourne Australia 🐨

[@cecilerasmussen9663]

Must be so interesting sewing and creating art meets function ✨

[@Jan-fb6fd]

This was all the fashion when I was young - patchwork clothing.

[@mysterymachine6858]

nothing new about this at all

[@irodify1]

Fashion is circular. When was patchwork clothing popular before? There's a technique called Kantha-sari's find new life as pillow cases, blankets. Japan has a technique called sashiko(?). Thrift called by many different names!

[@sewingqueen5409]

Wow. Imspeechless. Keep up the great work.

[@TonyeArts]

This is a great idea, I make art with my scraps, but now I'll try making clothes with them. Thank you

[@Groensagsfobier]

Every country needs a place like this! I really want to buy one of these but it would lose its point of being sustainable if I got it shipped to Europe

[@judybrown1045]

What a brilliant idea

[@yoonkimin17]

I recently heard of zero waste cutting and since then im. Super interested into it...

[@ItsMeOmi]

Wow, this is great! You're Brilliant, Daniel!

[@flowergirlpower1991]

Fantastic. I get scraps from a seamstress, when covid started l made masks for my family. Friends liked them so l made to sell. I also make cloths for my mom and myself.

[@rebeccabrothers8056]

Would like to know, I respect and love your "refashioning/upcycling, I however am kind of curious about sewing machines and would like to see what you use, you and your crew are great fashion artist!

I love this and at 60 i would rock a shirt!

[@missmatti]

Fun to see all the creativity and I especially love how they used fabric scraps to cut out David Bowie!

[@AmoiSoy]

Awesome!!

[@Liusila]

Just visited their website and there are only about 30 items on there, most over $200. They look good although I was hoping to just buy a basic t-shirt like what the workers are wearing.

[@ellendesposito5193]

God Bless Your Talent ,amazing !!

[@eilishbrown2601]

How do you clean the shirt if it is made of different types of fabric? Or do they only take 100% cotton?

[@quzieq6671]

What a wonderful, ingenious, magical and inspiring product, Daniel!!! I'm awestruck.

[@estrela3889]

Awesome!❤

[@mrodriguez6449]

What a neat concept

[@I-Will-Pray-For-You]

Thanks for this cool idea! He's awesome! Please do a video on how an ordinary person can remove thread from clothes that were/would be thrown away to weave new, useful fabrics.
