need to find some new fabrics I guess..
new product: scarf.
sometimes, on rare occasions, you stumble upon something really nice. it happened to me a while ago, during a thrift shopping spree. i found a total of 4 meters of beautiful deadstock indigo dyed selvage fabrics. all characteristics were a dead give away that this was vintage manual shuttleloom stuff: selvage edges, uneven structure and a huge slubs effect.
very enthusiastic with my find, i didn't know what to do with it at first. but 2 weeks ago i decided to turn the fabric into scarves! i had just enough yards of both fabrics to manufacture 3 scarves per fabric. so this is it, no re-stocks, limited stuff..
for the manufacturing part, which i did myself, i decided to add some details to show these are fully handmade:
*i rolled the sideseams by hand to give a slanted effect which is similar to the roping effect of a union special 43200g.
*because the fabrics are very small in width (less than 1 meter), i had to attach 2 full widths together to make long enough scarf. in the center i attached both selvage ends so that 1 is still visible and standing up, which i had to push back during sewing manually.
to sum up the specifications:
*deadstock fabric.
*handwoven on a vintage shuttleloom.

*indigo rope dyed.
*100% cotton.
*irregular & heavy slub structure.
*selvage ends.
*upstanding selvage center part.
*handrolled sides for roping effect.
*limited to only 3 pieces per colour.

leather evolution: phonecase.
in the spotlight: bdd keyhook.
this week in the spotlight, the bdd keyhook. it is made of brass, 6cm long and has 2 rings for key attachment. the brass is very shiny when new, but with wear it will evolve in a beautiful dull and dark shade.
with this keyhook you will never have to put your keys in your pockets, to avoid getting ripped pocketlining.
