   I took the quiz - very interesting! I was especially intrigued by the question that asked if I would mind small changes in the pattern style to keep different sizes zero-waste. I hadn't thought about that before, but it's true, the scale would change the shape of the pattern pieces. I think I got away from zero-waste patterns once I realized quite a few styles had some kind of scrap embellishment to use up the leftover bits. I think I might prefer a cleaner design that was "almost" zero-waste.

   I love the idea of a scrap embellishment or an additional project that uses the waste! - Christine

   I wonder if Zero waste designs would fit better?

   I just took the survey and found it interesting. I wish she had asked about our actual experiences with zero waste patterns.

   I felt uncomfortable when the survey asked about income. I don't see a correlation between income and zero (minimum) waste. Is zero waste even possible? In addition to designing patterns to minimize waste, we can get creative about how too use "waste".

   Agreed. I stopped right there.

   I combine my extra fabrics to create one of a kind garments, tops, aprons, shorts, kids clothes. You are limited only by your creativity.

   I do not use patterns. And with hand sewing bags, scarves, aprons etc use up leftovers in embellishments. Very small fabric scraps go into junk journals, pincushions, needle maps.

   I took the quiz. Good questions. It's sometimes very interesting to think deeper about what you are doing
