Bring me your jeans and I'll fix them!
Here's a quick tutorial on how I go about repairing small knee blowouts in a subtle way with the darning method.
Getting your garments repaired instead of throwing them out does a few things:
- Creates a bond between you and your clothes by making them more personalized.
- Saves you money you would've put on an unnecessary new garment.
- Makes you infinitely more environmentally friendly.

Finishing up the last details on a commission for a nice selvedge denim hat.
I want to start making more hats like these but I still see a few things I need to tweak before I can say that they're perfect.
Hats are not easy to get right!
Stay tuned for more info on this hat and all the other versions that are to come!

My first time making selvedge denim jeans!
These were so much fun to make, a bit difficult at times but the whole process was a breeze.
Took me about two days to complete.
I think they turned out beautifully and this definitely won't be the last time I make something like this. We're just getting started.
Would love to hear you thoughts as well!

How do you think I did 'on this repair?
To be fair, I would almost call this one a whole restoration, since I really wanted it to look good, I disassembled each piece of the hood and cuffs, repaired them in an almost invisible matter and then sewed everything back in place.
Don't be fooled, this took quite a long time but I take pride in my work and would say the time spent was fully worth it. I learned a lot from this repair!

Back in the days to mark or brand fabric, people either used stencils or chainstitch embroidery, but since I have none of those and don't feel like spending an eternity doing it by hand, I gave it a go with the plain sewing machine and turns out they can embroider pretty good!
Enjoy!

The Brown's Beach Vest!
This is a garment that's always captivated me ever since I got into vintage clothing, I'd always wonder where it was from and how it got to be so iconic.
To better understand it's origin, I decided to make my own so here's the result Ce SO

Here's a most requested video on Sashiko mending.
This is one of the techniques I appreciate the most because it allows you to transform any tear into an imperfectly perfect work of art.
It is also the most accessible way of denim repair.
