The Freehouse Foundation assigned CvdBremen to design and develop products with local materials from the Afrikaandermarkt in Rotterdam in close cooperation with local (migrant) women. The products were sold by the women themselves on the bi-weekly market. The Suit it Yourself collection is based on the idea of DIY. It ranges from buying a simple pattern to use with your own choice of fabric from the market, to a SIY package with all the ingredients included (patern + material) and a ready-made SIY product that is
