RE:LOVE - Repurposed — Iron Heart, Reimagined

[Lynne]

The birth of a new Swatch bag. Made from duck hemming offcuts and lined with an Iron Heart sample - coming soon!

Actually, I’m not sure if I want to sell it - it’s just too But then so is the mixed fade/non-fade black heavyweight Swatch bag (will be interesting to see how that wears)…and then the mixed weight 14-25oz indigo with UHF shirt lining.

Let me know what fabric/lining combos you’d like to see and I’ll try to oblige

@Lynne wow I love the creative usage of fabrics here. Well done and looking forward to seeing pics of these out in the wild.

Does anyone make paper/card?

I want to use all of our small denim scraps and threads, and thought I could make some paper/card for art/greetings cards, book covers, bookmarks etc and wondered if anyone had already made paper from fabric.

I’m currently testing 100% denim pulp; 50/50 denim/paper; same again but with added cornstarch; all with just water.

There are so many combinations though, so if anyone has any advice (or a spare Holland beater ) it would be gladly received!

@Lynne Thank you for my learning lesson of the day as I had no idea what a holland beater is.

@Lynne you are a mad scientist and this is epic! Can’t wait to see the results of your experimentation. I wonder if it will come out with a similar texture to washi paper?

[Lynne]

@SourPower so far it’s like a thick fibrous card

Process shots:
The latest Winyl bags are nearly ready. One wabash and one 1955. Just hanging around waiting for snaps, before they join the rest of their posse to be prepped for sale.
I’ve loved making these.
They are mahoosive! Wide enough for vinyl, deep enough for wine

@Lynne Oooooo that Wabash is beautiful!

@Danimal506 it is - I want to keep them all! My photos don’t do them justice. Wait til James has done his magic with them in the next week or so

@Lynne I look forward to seeing more pics!
