This constitutes the total waste from the garment I just designed. Almost zero waste! Some other shapes that I could have cut off to seam became a re-enforcement for the garment. This type of weave is very forgiving with the machine stitching and either straight or zig zag could be used. This is the weave that got me thinking about what I could stitch up.

I basically cut out shapes and pinned them to myself. I made sure the squares which formed the front were on the bias to give a better drape. The pattern, surprisingly, became one that you can wear two ways.
Here is an image of the front and back of Designway One. Notice the knot like formations at the shoulder. I was trying to create a summer weight sleeveless design and this works well. Linen yarn may also work well as it is crisper for the summer look.
This is designway two which is equally as nice but more conventional in feel.

The warp was only 45 cms wide and the finished cloth 1.8 metres long.
