RE:LOVE - Repurposed — Iron Heart, Reimagined

[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!

[labrat]

@Lynne I completely understand, and thank you for even considering this! I'll message you with details ️

Personally, I'd have two uses for this, a bike tool roll and as a barber tool roll to store my shaving tools.

[hjl360]

I would snap up a denim watch roll!

[labrat]

Around 25x45cm? A few thoughts… I'd love to see two wider/deeper pockets for larger items (around 9cm), with the rest varying between 3–5cm. Curious what others think! Just my two cents—ultimately, it'd be great to settle on something that works for everyone and covers a range of uses

This is what Haraki made in 2019.

Aetas said in Hand and Power Tools:

From the Iron Heart Boss Talk.
Tool set in an IH made roll-up case.  Stamped serial number 1/21 to 21/21 and with flannel inside.

[Lynne]

I’ve got a large wide pair of jeans to repurpose here.

I can get a 25x45cm finished size out of these, with a 15-20cm fold over flap.

Could fix a 46cm belt loop with snap for the closure.
