This piece is 5"X 7". I hand-sewed seven strips of used huipiles onto fleece using a rust-colored embroidery thread, then hand-sewed a free-form pattern over the top of it for a quilted look. It's very subtle. Finally, I used fabric glue to attach thin burgundy/gold ribbon to two sides.

RSA-US Student Design Awards aka #SDAUS, is an award program to inspire collaborative and multi-disciplinary design-led social by connecting design students and faculty with industry needs.
Why do we need SDA-US? Why now?
“It is a pivotal moment in the field of socially responsible design. More than ever, design professionals are involved in projects that have a social impact. Student enrolment in educational programs or social innovation is growing exponentially.” Bill Moggridge, RSA Royal Designer for Industry, co-founder of IDEO and Director, Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum 2010-12.
How can I participate?
The awards are open to design students at US accredited schools. Faculty should oversee the students’ work, ideally by building the brief into the curriculum, by setting up workshops, and/or by individual mentoring. We'll announce the 2014 briefs and key dates in May 2013- so stay tuned:
