This rib is just the best. It’s so soft and the photo’s not doing the colour justice. @Steve show it being worn by someone, it’s bravo

@GraemeE I’m with you on that. And these jeans are going to look better than ever, so cool

@68degreesorless I wouldn’t have any fire resistant material in Relove, but we do have some scraps of natural horsehide and natural buck.

(I’ve been working on a buck-backed coaster today )

I’ll have a think!

@MM yes, we’re just finalising finished sizes.

Our most common sizes are

• Large to fit 59-60cm
• XL to fit 61-62cm

How does that fit with you?

I am working on a cap, but firstly there will be a few bucket hats in Relove denim and flannel lining coming in March.

We’ve been discussing kilties internally. I’m going to look at our Wesco ones tomorrow alongside some remnants of natural horsehide we have, and see if we have anything that works.

Do you have a particular style in mind eg do you prefer the split tongued ones, like our Wescos, or a rounded edge?

This month I’ve focussed on black denim. Lots of fresh and faded goodies going online today. Wristlets, keyrings and coasters looking super sharp, with indigo options too. Black bags will be online in two weeks, if you want a matching set

@Giles buy two - couple goals - you’d look cute 🥰

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!

@goosehd we’ll see

@Vik we can do it on a weekend crafternoon (that’s craft (Vik’s an excellent knitter)/craft beer/crafting cocktails/crafting nibbles - you get the gist - for anyone wondering) ️

@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.

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?!

@worn2fade aaah, I can see they’re placemat size now. I feel they may be too fabric hungry for what I have and ergo too expensive for people to buy, especially as they’d probably want sets of them. But I can see that if we had rolls of fabric and flannel for lining that these would be easy to make. If I get an influx of Relove pieces (shout out to people to send in their worn shirts and jeans ) then I’ll keep this in mind for sure.
Added to my list

@pechelman I’ll add to the list!

@worn2fade your wish is my command! A batch of 11 coasters is going live this/next week, I believe.

Here’s a preview of what’s coming.

What’s nice about these is that the lining is made from a woman’s shirt so you get more details on the back. One even has a pocket - quirky I know, but it’s a large coaster and a mug/beer bottle sits comfortably away on the front side from the snap on the back so there’s no wobble.

@motojobobo Duck noted ️

@tenuin I’ve got some small pieces of deerskin that could perhaps line a denim/uhf watch roll. I’ll draw something up and have a think

@motojobobo a slightly smaller size, interesting. I thought you’d all have big tools and would need something bigger I can do something with this

The flap goes over once the tool roll is folded up, so things can’t come out.

@Aetas that would save some material to just have a smaller flap cover

@hjl360 do you have any pictures or sizes, or an idea of how many watches or other equipment would you want it to hold?
