Preface The culmination of the students’ academic tenure at the National Institute of Design, Haryana is marked by the submission of a degree project, which is a substantial investigation in the field of design on a topic closely allied to their discipline of study. The intention of the graduation project is to orients the students to the needs and demands of the industry. ; It also acts as a guiding factor for them to make an informed decision about which career path they would like to follow upon graduating. The current project was taken to : • Study of Hand-loom, Raw material and the possibilities in terms of design. • Developing different kinds of weft through the waste fabric. • Conceptualizing and making samples before the prototype can be made, would enable learning and discovering the new units of the company and coordination with the design teams and people involved in each of the units. • Prototyping helps understand the differences and challenges that are faced while going from sampling to production. • Finishing, quality check and costing to make design viable. Working with textile waste in an apparel focused brand gave me exposure to the fashion industry and its backdrops. The project proved to be an important step for the student to understand the textile industry and its waste management better. It also helped the student in gaining enriching experience in the field that resonated with the interest and inclination thereby proving the graduating students’ presence as a useful resource in the industry.
