Insta(gram) Sewing

I’ve had a ton of projects pop into my brain and I’ve been testing them all one by one.  As per my instagram here is the evidence that I haven’t been eating croissants and lying around in the park (much)…

Testing out some neon paints that made every other colour seem dull in comparison

messing around with two-tone on the Katie Clutch

Threadzzzzz

Dopp Kits!

Fixing a strap to a new batch of duffel totes

Cutting out facing for the army totes

Getting all Floral with some aprons

How bout some camo?

Curing a belt for an order

I definitely update instagram more than anything else, so if you want to see what I’m up to and where I’ve been, my handle is reiddamnit

 

Make Modify

I have been a little prolific in the sewing department this past week, I have been thinking about my new wardrobe for summer and in that spirit I’ve been buying pieces and altering them.  I got this sweet Tommy Hilfiger shirt only it was too big, so I took it in an inch on each side, removed the sleeves and used them to make some big patch pockets.  So satisfying to modify a couple of things on the garment and make it completely different and cooler.  I plan on doing some stuff like this to put in the make/match/modify store – stay tuned.
