RE:LOVE - Repurposed — Iron Heart, Reimagined

[Lynne]

Blink and you’ll miss it! Grateful for my cosy home ‘studio’. Here’s a tour of it Currently prepping bags, coasters, keyrings, hats. The bags contain 2/3/4” indigo/black/duck offcuts for swatch bags; and strips of denim to be transformed into belt loop.

[Grim]

@Lynne love the set up. Saw a hat ;P.

[Lynne]

Thank you️

[Lynne]

@Grim you did! A Relove bucket hat with a UHF lining. My fave hat of 2025 I have some small pieces of material left over from the Swatch bags to make a few, so will probably post them Feb/Mar.
Also, this year a Relove

[Grim]

You’re making me foam at the mouth @Lynne. Anything with UHF is going to be sick! Excited to see these hats and whatever you continue to cook up. Would love to see some re:love crossbody bags if that’s in the cards. ️

[Lynne]

Working on a ‘new’ option of the Relove bag.

This time rather than using offcuts, I’ve used a well worn pair of jeans and a heavyweight T for the lining.

Love this worn and faded option - a few will be on sale soon.

This bag can also be offered as a bespoke option using your own jeans and Tshirt or shirt.

Now where shall I put the patch…top, middle, bottom…?

[Bridger]

Another cool piece @Lynne

Bottom right for me. (That's where I would put the patch, rather than my dating profile)

[Lynne]

@Bridger Bottom right straight on, or on its side?

[Bridger]

hehe @Lynne

I think straight bottom is the answer, albeit an oxymoron

[sabergirl]

I like top in the middle, personally.

These are so great @Lynne ! Making one with my old jeans would be a dream.

[Grim]

@Lynne I think top middle or bottom right would look best.

[worn2fade]

@Lynne This is such a cool idea. Bottom for me!

[Lynne]

Bottom it is then!
(My preference too)

[Anesthetist]

@Lynne you’re amazing Lynne

[Lynne]

They may be ‘gopping’, to coin a @JoshC phrase, but they have lived long and their beauty will live even longer. Aren’t they hypnotic…like waves you can just fall in to

[labrat]

Would love to see a tool roll ️

[worn2fade]

@labrat this is an awesome idea!

[motojobobo]

Tool rolls are a great idea @labrat !

[labrat]

@worn2fade @motojobobo thank you boys

Here’s another mockup …

Another option, instead of string…. a good art snap or two

One last one… a flannel lining for extra strength would be a great addition and fits the over-engineered principal of IronHeart.

@Lynne please let me know if you need a to test it out , money in my hand

[Lynne]

@labrat I do love a tool roll, but we rarely have enough Relove fabric in that’s big enough to make them.

What would be the minimum dimensions that would work for you?
And what would you pay for one?

If a smaller size works, then this may be possible.

They can also be used to store/carry watches -
I’ve got some small pieces of soft leather for lining.

I’ve also looked at patchworking to make larger pieces but they would need lining (I don’t get much shirt fabric) and the seams are bulky.

Let’s drill this down.
Let’s get to a size that works for all and what you’d put in it - and I’ll make a sample!
