Abstract :Sustainability is one of the most important concepts in the textile world today. Within the scope of the study, it is aimed to bring design proposals that support the concepts of ecological production, waste management, and slow fashion, which are the subtitles of sustainability. In this study, sustainable designs were made using natural fiber raw materials, weaving structures, natural dyeing methods and mordant parameters. First; preliminary trials using wool, silk, linen, cotton yarns, plain and twill structures were dyed with onion skin and different mordants. Our dobby weaving design applications and three jacquard design simulations were carried out by using the data on the colour/texture effects obtained from the preliminary trials. Due to the use of yarns with different raw materials in weaving, it was possible to reach the most colour tones and therefore different pattern regions by performing a one-bath dyeing process. At the same time, sustainability was supported by preventing the loss of labour, materials, and time with this type of dyeing method. In the context of slow fashion practice; it is thought that this study, which is carried out with the aim of keeping traditional production methods alive and adopting production methods in which ecological and dyeing process steps are minimised, will set a sustainable example for dobby and jacquard woven fabric designs. In conclusion; the study was carried out, which reveals innovative and at the same time sustainable weaving design possibilities and supports many sub-titles of the concept of sustainability.
