IHUK - A day in the life of….

[Lynne]

@Mizmazzle well, firstly, my husband’s one of them Steve then introduced me many years ago to Alex, Giles and Paula. What can I say - I simply fell in love with them, the brand, the business, the crew. And now a golden opportunity has arisen to develop my love of fabrics, sewing and new techniques. Hope you follow me as we develop RE:LOVE products embellished with IH art, sashiko…maybe even tattooing textiles.
With regards to my previous sewing, a post has just come up on Insta of one of my coats. This coat has a range of detachable collars and cuffs to dress it up or down. I love creating multi purpose and/or recycled products…can’t wait to show you what we’re doing!

@Lynne How exciting! Sounds great

[Mizmazzle]

@Lynne wow!! So you and Steve are just whipping up mad creations all the time?? What a fun passion to have. I’ll be sure to keep a watchful on your work. My wife is always wanting cool new pieces too. Lord knows she sees how Iron Heart has shaped my life. She’d love to find a designer with the same ethos that caters to women.

@Lynne I do believe that's my shirt I dropped off yesterday. Thank you. it's looking much better.

[Lynne]

@goldstone0 fab! The thread will soon blend in, but I do love a visible repair. Kintsugi sprang to mind when I sewed your little golden stitches.

@Mizmazzle how about a denim RE:LOVE mini skirt…? I’ve been thinking of things to make with this

[Lynne]

@long_john86 thank you!

[goldstone0]

@Lynne Delivered to my door less than 48 hours after dropping it off. Thank you and thanks @Bailey for organising. Legendary customer service.

[Bailey]

@goldstone0 Our pleasure mate! Glad you are pleased with @Lynne handy-work!

@Lynne My better half would be interested in a skirt or 3…My crew would all love one

[Tago Mago]

@goosehd I will not tell my wife about this for fear of reallocation of IH funds

[goosehd]

@Tago-Mago ...but it does make it easier for future purchases for one's self

Long term strategies...

[Tago Mago]

@goosehd I'm unsure that strategy will work, since the one item I want the most costs €1800

[goosehd]

@Tago-Mago ...interested. Please do tell what the item is

[Tago Mago]

This

[goosehd]

@Tago-Mago I see @ARNC campaign is starting to work on you. He's has been a very bad influence (and doing it very well)

[ARNC]

@goosehd I don’t know what you mean

[Tago Mago]

@goosehd The worst part was trying it on and having to take it off again in August

[Lynne]

@goosehd exactly!

Today we took charge of a beautiful second hand Kansai Special belt loop maker. It has been fitted with a folder and needle gauge, adapted to match IH jeans as closely as possible. Not only can we run strips of belt loops for repairs, but I will be creating RE:LOVE products such as key rings, wristlets, camera straps, lanyards, dog leads, cat collars, coiled coasters, bag and hat straps/loops, weaving +++ Endless ideas.

Worn denim gives a gorgeous range of tones and fades, while unworn denim is super smart and crisp. So, when it comes to belt loops, the world’s now our oyster ️

Picture shows results of worn denim passing through and some unworn denim ready to pass through. I’ll post videos as I go.
