@labrat love a leather cord! I don’t have a very much long enough leather that I could cut a cord from. And, of course, I don’t buy things in, as this project is to only use what we have spare, but I will keep an eye out. Perhaps some old leather laces or the paracord we use might come up too
Oh, just had a thought that I may be able to spiral cut a small piece of buck to make a cord…I’ll be back…

@MM I’ve had a look at making kilties, but I don’t think it’s something we will progress atm. I’d need a dye and press to make these neat enough and looking at the Wesco ones, which are so cheap, it wouldn’t make financial sense for us to invest in tools for this. Love the idea of upgrading and personalising a ready made one though
Please keep the ideas coming - and your jeans, shirts and offcuts! -
I’ve been looking at things to make from smaller hemming offcuts. Liking how the Swatch bag works, I’ve used our thinner strips to make a small-medium size cushion. This fits a 30x50cm cushion.
Just getting your feedback for preferred cushion sizes/colourways etc. Options going forwards could be a plain indigo/black/duck; a mix of worn faded indigos; mix of denim colours/splash of wabash; chino/whipcord. Smaller size cushions only.
This is a pillowcase type cushion cover which may have copper snaps on the back - or front if you want to face it that way. I’m just working on that.
Small Relove cushions - yes/no?

@Lynne Cotton or leather laces all sound good to me, can’t wait to see what you come up with!
