After watching a short film about sustainable fashion technology, I became interested in the possibility of growing fabric with household materials. Being fond of baking, and both my parents being chemists has contributed to a spark in my curiosity. Therefore, I would like to research and expand on this idea of growing my own fabric. Suzanne Lee, bio-couture designer, is a major source in the process of growing fabric. Furthermore, the fabric she has grown shares characteristics similar to that of leather.
The following link is the recipe for growing fabric:
