ABSTRACT
Increasing consumption in the textile industry leads to uncontrolled
waste generation and sustainability plays an important role in reducing this
problem. Methods such as recycling and upcycling offer the opportunity to
re-evaluate waste. Embroidery art contributes to this transformation by
decorating textile surfaces with traditional and modern techniques. In this
study, modern embroidery techniques were applied on waste fabrics inspired by
nature and different products were designed. The aim of these designs is to
raise awareness on environmental protection, efficient use of resources and
sustainable design by using embroidery.
