>tent parts that create multiple pockets and zippers

While exploring local hiking stores I stumbled upon a recycling bin for old hiking gear. This sparkled an idea of creating functional garments, that I need, only from this source, without buying newly manufactured fabrics.
Benefits of using an old tent cover as a source of material brings you into pure exploration state when you are using not just the fabric from the old tent but also hardware such as zippers, ropes, buckles and straps. The material is showing you the way of how the garment should be constructed, not your sketch book. This process of designing surprised me in many ways and showed me how important is to explore material and focus on details.
