Charity Shop Chic

Rescuing used and abused clothing and giving them a second lease of life. I alter, resize, refashion and sometimes just cut them up and start again. London, UK.

But what you don’t know is that that Coke can is not just blue, it’s not turquoise. It’s not lapis. It’s actually cerulean. And you’re also blithely unaware of the fact that in 2002, Pepsi introduced a product called Pepsi Blue. 1/3

Things no-one else is crazy enough to be doing right now: final prep for a trip to answer one of the great unanswered questions: just how far can you travel by bus from London in 24hrs? I *think* I know on paper, but in practice…? Follow along from 3am as I slowly go mad. #bus24

1 - Welcome to #ThreadTalk, muslin edition. Muslin has been all over my feed, so let me cut to the chase:

The finest fabric in human history was perfected by the Bengali people but tragically lost in the wake of imperialism & economic ruin at the hands of the English.

[Hunter knits tiny nonsense @HunterHammersen]

Something shitty happens pretty much every time I bring out a new pattern.

Someone (or more often a couple of someones) comes along and whuffles and flutters about how it's SCANDALOUS that I charge EIGHT WHOLE DOLLARS for a pattern.

So let's talk about that.
