      Excuse my indulgence in this thread, but I wanted to show you a pair of beautiful old sewing chairs I rescued from a friend’s factory this week.

      They may look like this now, but I have high hopes of transforming the upholstery into something like that created on this chair of dreams. I will be stitching together the tiniest scraps from my own personal fabric stash and then, if successful, potentially creating small cushions for Relove.

      Could this be the most beautiful chair in the world?!

          @goosehd I’d like to feature curvy designs such as waves/interlocking circles around the curved edges and plain running stitches with some crosses in a heavier thread for the base as this seat will need to be hard wearing. So, a very simple base, like the chair shown - and then something more decorative for the seat back perhaps using a threaded stitch for more texture (I never use a seat back, so it can be less rugged). Not too much as the chair and fabric speak volumes already. I’m not an upholsterer, so I’ll probably build straight on to what’s there as it’s all metal underneath. I’ll post updates once I’ve gathered the scraps and drawn up the design.

                      A new take on the Swatch bag. Instead of being made from hemming offcuts, this one is made from a pair of jeans. As such its original patch is sewn on.

                      This one also has a logo’d Tshirt for the lining - the heavyweight material works perfectly.

                      Haraki San was playing around with it the other day and immediately turned it inside out to look at the inside. We all agreed at that point that the bag looked as good inside out, as outside in.

                      On top of this, we can now offer this as a bespoke piece for you. If you have jeans and an old Iron Heart shirt or Tshirt, we can make your own (very) personal bag. Message for details.

                      Oh, thank you to my glamorous assistant!
