@Lynne said in RE:LOVE - Repurposed — Iron Heart, Reimagined:

@labrat love a leather cord! I don’t have a very much long enough leather that I could cut a cord from. And, of course, I don’t buy things in, as this project is to only use what we have spare, but I will keep an eye out. Perhaps some old leather laces or the paracord we use might come up too

Oh, just had a thought that I may be able to spiral cut a small piece of buck to make a cord…I’ll be back…

@Lynne Cotton or leather laces all sound good to me, can’t wait to see what you come up with!

[Lynne]

I’m in production mode.
A small batch of Swatch Cushions are on their way.
Using smaller hemming offcuts than our Swatch Bags, each cushion contains 18 x 3” random offcuts of 14/16/18/21/UHR/25oz fresh-off-the-cutting-board indigo denim.
As you can see, each piece has a character of its own and needs a firm hand to bring them together
I’m looking forward to seeing how these age.

Would be sweet to have some sleeve extension snaps to be able to button certain shirts over a watch, could be real similar to the denim bracelets?

[Lynne]

@dirtyframer thank you, I’ll have a look at this

[Lynne]

Thank you all for your tool roll input!
We are in production, with angled pocket and leather tie.
I’ll be making 5 of these to start with in a variety of denims. Each will be unique.
First up is a beautifully faded, worn and repaired 21oz roll.
These can also be made bespoke from your own jeans, DM to discuss

very cool

@Lynne This is very very cool! - Could this be tweaked to be a knife wrap for those who love to be in the kitchen? - Asking for a friend

[Lynne]

@Tyler short knives, like butter or fish knives..? No problem
It depends on how much fabric we can source from unsellable jeans. Anything is possible, we just need more denim

[Lynne]

Back in the saddle!
Weathered hats and duck tool rolls; and pristine hemming offcuts cushions in the making.

[motojobobo]

Tool rolls for the win!

[Lynne]

Today’s Relove is all about buttonholes and buttons. Buttonholes made easy with our multi-purpose Jack machine. And applying tack buttons - made easy thanks to @JoshC training

Now, how many denim weights can you spot in this cushion…

[Lynne]

Cushions made from a gamut of hemming offcuts have been sent off to be photographed. Should be online in the next week or so.

[ROman]

@Lynne Real nice.

[Lynne]

@ROman thank you, that means a lot!

@Lynne pillows look fantastic. You can also try making pillow cases out of just the IH denim waist bands. Like so:

[CosmoSix5]

If I could just wear the same clothes everyday the way I wear one band This is on almost all the time. 3 salty bodies of water, swimming pools, workouts. Top pic is brand new. About 11 months below that

@CosmoSix5 love this!!!
