<![CDATA[This study aimed to develop sustainable vests from textile waste using hand appliqué embroidery and describe their feasibility and consumer appeal. Research and development employed the 4D model, limited to Define, Design, and Develop. Three vests were produced from cotton scraps, denim, and combinations of used clothing and kebaya scraps. Data were collected through observation, documentation, expert assessment, and questionnaires completed by 15 consumers. Two experts assessed each vest using 15 items on a five-point scale. Recalculated expert feasibility scores were 89.33%, 89.33%, and 97.33%, with an overall score of 92%. Recorded consumer totals were 961, 990, and 1,006. Consumer percentages require reconciliation because the questionnaire contains 15 items whereas the summary uses a 14-item maximum. The products demonstrate the feasibility of combining textile reuse and hand embroidery; broader consumer acceptance and environmental benefits require further testing.]]>
