About The Scrap Collective

If you've landed here, you're probably wondering what the fuck The Scrap Collective actually is. Well it started with me learning to sew as a form of art practice, and making some cool as fuck, oversized hoodies..

Every so often I release small drops of one of a kind patchwork hoodies made from thrifted clothes and scraps I’ve collected along the way. No templates, no repeats, no two pieces ever coming out the same. Once a drop sells out, that’s it. Those pieces become part of the archive.

But somewhere along the way this stopped being just about the hoodies. The Scrap Collective has grown into a community of people all over the place trying things, experimenting, making patchwork chaos and sharing it with each other. Some people here make their own scrap pieces. Some people wear the hoodies. Some people are just here to watch the madness unfold.

All of it counts.

Because the Scrap Collective was never meant to be some polished fashion brand. It’s a space for people who want to try shit without needing to be perfect at it first.

Around here we live by one rule: sew like an artist, not a seamstress.

We’re not chasing perfect technique. We’re chasing fun, art, colour. First we make the thing, then we fall in love with the process and make it better. Sometimes it works, sometimes it looks a bit shit, but that’s all part of it.

Right now the Scrap Collective has grown into a community of more than 15,000 people on Facebook and a growing crew over on Instagram, sharing ideas, asking questions, posting their attempts and cheering each other on in the comments.

People show their first projects. People give opinions. People learn together. And the energy is always the same; Encouraging you to just fkn try. 

So I eventually turned the way I build my hoodies into something other people could use too; The Scrap Method guide + hoodie pattern, so anyone who feels the itch to cut up some old clothes can jump in and start making their own scrap chaos, using the exact same silhouette as I do.

If you’ve ever looked at a pile of old clothes and thought, “Honestly… I reckon I could make something cool out of that,” then welcome to the Scrap Yard.

You’re in the right place.

RAW. WORN. REBORN.

Love my Hoodies, first one I bought i gave away as a present the 2nd one was for me, it is so soft and well made, very comfy and super warm.

I have 6 Hoodies now, these products are ss special, individual one off classics! The detail, the colour, the uniqueness of the creator shines through in every masterpiece. Can not reccommend highly enough, everyone needs some scrap collective happiness in their life!!

Love, love, love these hoodies, they are so cool! It's exciting to own something that I know no one else has the exact same one.
I remember seeing someone post themselves wearing a Nike hoodie and I searched where to buy one but couldn't find it anywhere.
Turns out it was one of Kayla's!
Have been a fan ever since.

I usually prefer hoodies with a fitted waistband but it didn't take long to get used to how it sat on me and I've been rocking it to school drop off on these cold mornings.

Think I'm going to purchase the Scrap Method pattern and ask my ex MIL to make me some more 🤣

So good and very good communication.

Wow, just wow! What an amazing woman, who makes incredibly high quality, comfortable masterpieces. I have 2 in my collection already and just know they wont be the last!

Well, where do I start? Kayla is an absolute legend of a human being, then comes the talent !!! Oozes unique style in all she does and creates. I'm lucky to have purchased 3 hoodies, so far ;).One nabbed by my daughter in law who wears it everywhere. Possibly should come with a warning tag as to how many people will stop you and want to know where you found such awesomeness !!!

10/10 home made, made with love and aussie made.. Comfortable, snuggly and stylish unique.

It’s like Kayla somehow made this jumper just for me ❤️ so much thought has clearly gone into the design, even the fleece lining is fluro to match. It’s so warm and comfy, I am completely obsessed and will be wearing it until it literally falls apart on my body.

Easy to pay for and download - thanks

Easy to shop, any problems and Kayla is there to help.

The Scrap Collective is a whole vibe. 💚

Love goes into every piece of fabric, every stitch, and it carries over to the person lucky enough to call a piece from TSC their own.

Kayla is a brilliant, trustworthy, real, raw, and incredibly talented human with such a beautiful soul.

I am honored to wear one of her hoodies, and I'll always share the heart that TSC puts into every stitch with everyone I know.

Highly recommended! 💚

When you support The Scrap Collective, you're not just buying clothing... you're supporting a genuinely amazing human who pours her heart into everything she creates. 💚
