The Scrap Method: Colourways & Design
Ever looked at a pile of scraps and wondered why some fabrics just work together while others feel like they're actively fighting each other?
This guide is my attempt to put into words what usually lives inside my brain.
No art degree required. No fancy colour theory jargon. Just everything I've learned about building colourways from turning second-hand clothes into wearable art.
Inside you'll learn how I build Scrap Collective colourways using colour, pattern, texture, repetition, trims and design details to create hoodies that feel intentional instead of random.
We'll cover:
• The Scrap Colour Wheel
• Colour relationships explained simply
• Complementary, analogous and monochromatic colourways
• Understanding undertones
• Choosing a hero fabric
• Reading your fabric
• Texture builders
• Statement, supporting and neutral patterns
• Trims, hood linings and repeated design elements
• A real Scrap Collective colourway breakdown
This isn't a rule book.
It's a guide to help you understand why something works so you can trust your own creative decisions.
