It’s been another busy couple of weeks, with loads of updates on Instagram – green thread finally sourced (fingers crossed the colours match), a couple more tools purchased, lining material ordered, and the Jack S5-91 sewing machine has finally been turned on.
I made a tongue! Definitely a million miles from perfect, but for my first attempt at using a post-bed sewing machine I’m delighted with the results. Loads of learnings made on this, onwards and upwards!
I’m very open to partnerships, so if you are a supplier of shoemaking tools, materials, or products and would like to partner up to promote them through our various social channels, feel free to get in touch.
