Zero Waste Patterns by Birgitta Helmersson

Build a handmade wardrobe with purpose. Zero Waste Patterns is your guide to sewing thoughtfully — minimizing both textile and paper waste while creating wearable, timeless style. Designer Birgitta Helmersson leads you through a fresh, modern approach to garment-making with her signature Scandinavian flair.

Inside, you’ll find:
