Project Overview

Purpose The purpose of Seam is to help people find ways to mend their clothes. Alongside reducing waste in the environment, Seam helps give new life to clothes that often hold memories for people. In this way, Seam not only lets people mend their clothes, but also mends the relationship people have with their clothes, giving them another chance to make new memories while avoiding fast fashion.

Tools This project was built completely in Figma, with drawings made in Procreate.

Audience The audience includes anyone who wants to learn how to sew and/or has clothes that need mending.

Research process My research process was mainly using Google to learn more about how people figure out how to fix their clothes. Through this process, I learned about the different types of damage on clothes and also how the method can depend on the type of clothes and materials as well.

Final Product

The final prototype can be found here.

Overall, I am happy with what I was able to create in the span of around 12 hours. In the future, I would’ve loved to design more of the pages throughout the app including a favourites page, profile page, and even the process of adding your own methods or inspiration to the database. It would be fun to create the sign up/login flow as well including the onboarding process. I think a part that could be refined is the method page. I wanted it to be less of a list and more interactable but since I was running out of time, I kept it simple. I would also like to refine the recommendations page. I think that currently it feels a little static and could be improved by adding more indications of success to let users feel the satisfaction of finishing the quiz and getting their results. My favourite part in this process was hand drawing a lot of the icons as I felt that gave it a more homemade vibe which fits the theme of mending clothes.
