Kintsugi Inspired Pants
Kintsugi Inspired Pants
Take fabric scraps and an old men's shirt and transform them into a kintsugi inspired pair of trousers. Kintsugi is a repair technique used by the Japanese to mend broken ceramics. Instead of clay, they use gold to seal the pieces together followed by a layer of lacquer, creating a piece of art. To replicate this beautiful method, I used patch work techniques and a sewing machine to create the effect. The trousers and comfortable and unique to me!
