What happens to all the 2nd and 3rd grade 25oz and 21oz denim that you guys buy from the mill anyway? Could those rolls be shipped to UK for @Lynne to find out usable parts?

[Giles]

Our 2nd and 3rd grade denim typically just has neps and/or stuttered weave in certain sections of the roll, those can be cut around for small items like bags and calendars....So is used in Japan.

[Karol]

@Giles thanks for explaining, great that everything is being used. ️

Hello master of the sewing machine @Lynne
looking at the great stuff that you're creating out of the denim cut offs etc,
I wonder if a button extender wouldn't be a good addition to the repurposed portfolio.
something like the attached picture, but with the IH level of detail and love.

Cheers, Peter

[Lynne]

@peng great idea! I’ve got some smaller lengths of waistband that we could use for this. I add it to mix

[peng]

@Lynne That's even cooler if you'd use an existing waistband with it's buttonhole and add a new button (silver or copper)
Or, if you have a buttonhole sewing machine, use the existing buttons and add a buttonhole.
Whether you really need two new buttonholes is open to question.

Never mind. I would buy 2-3 of the extenders.

[motojobobo]

@peng I’m curious to learn what use you foresee for a button extender.

[T4920]

@Lynne I have a pair of olive green denim jeans from another brand but unfortunately they have have a bleach stain on them so sit unworn...

Do you think a regular Dylon pod cycle would sufficiently cover the stain, or would a more industrial process be needed for the bleached fabric to take on the dye?

[peng]

@motojobobo Being able to button up a pair of pants that otherwise is too tight / uncomfortable in the waist. The one in the pic is too long, for sure, but you get the idea.

[JoshC]

@T4920 I dont think a Dylon pod will do much to be honest if the area has been bleached, It would depend on how bleached we are talking if its very faint you might be okay but if its stripped back to a white colour, You may have better luck with something like a dye pen.

[T4920]

@JoshC yeah it's a full pale/cream splodge..

Might be better off just hemming them into booty shorts tbh

[JoshC]

@T4920 never go wrong with a pair of "booty short" I just turned my 888s into a pair of shorts absolute life saver for the warmer days.

There isn’t a seltzer thread, so I’ll post it here lol The first official use of my new coaster.
I wonder which denim this is. It feels less than 21oz but more than 14oz. I could be wrong. Whichever it is, I love it! So cool.

[ZackB]

@Danimal506 so cool man, enjoy your weekend!

[Danimal506]

@ZackB Thanks dude, you too!

Work In Progress: The Relove large tote bag coming soon!

AKA The Winyl bag. Deep enough to carry wine, wide enough to carry vinyls - thanks @Ross @SamD for the size and bag name input.

And thanks to the team for helping me gauge strap size this morning - you’re such cards x

70cm is what I can get out of an average recycled leg and it seems to fit all the chaps perfectly - both over the shoulder and, when the straps are held in hand with arms extended downwards, the bag doesn’t drag on the ground.

We’re 5’3”-6’3” of very varying chest measurements and modelling abilities

What do you think - would 70cm straps work for you?

Would love you to be part of the process. So, join me here to see how the bag develops.

PS: There are some seriously fabulous pieces of denim I have to work with
