  1. “Hunched over a #SewingMachine, Kil Bae is #hemming a dress inside his Manhattan tailor shop when a new #customer
    stops by with a vintage Tommy Hilfiger jacket he wants taken in.

    The modeling agent paid $20 at a thrift store for his reversible bomber style that’s plaid on one side and red on the other. He’s willing to spend $280 to have it slimmed down. #Alteration requests with such a price disparity would have seemed odd a few years ago, the #tailor says, but are helping to keep the #bobbins bobbing at his one-man shop, 85 Custom Tailor.“

  6. I am SO stealing this idea - knit tiny ornaments from scrap yarn! Maybe all-pastel socks & sweaters for my Ostara wreath, come March? So cute!
    Great idea, pic also, is from ShelbyKnits, @shelbyknits.bsky.social ~

  11. Oh look, vintage thread. Already learned my lesson, this stuff isn't going to work, it gets brittle and breaks as it ages. This stuff you can break by pulling gently. #bobbins

  16. I almost bought some gorgeous and huge Ukrainian jewellery made from woven rocailles, which I don't have the opportunity to wear. So I went back to hoarding colours at our Festival of Wool and Yarn. Again, I couldn't resist the vintage bobbins. More in the AltText.
    Are there more people who hoard colours against grey realities? 😎 🌈

  21. And again I look at my collection of vintage #bobbins for #inspiration. I have an idea of a "book scroll" made of very thin fabric. Then I could sew on little "stuff", textile collages with intuitive embroidery. Small, handy portions for the Sunday animation in our cultural heritage centre for a larger art work.

    In this heat today, the idea is now slowly simmering in my brain until it is cooked. 🤣

  26. I don't understand how lace is made, but looking at the #bobbins and pins and patterns ... listen buddy I know math when I see it. This is A #Math Thing. Obviously.

    Right away I want to know: Can I encode information in lace?

    How much of an expert must one be to make your own patterns?

    What about the creation of surfaces?

    #Knitting is more accessible, and people have been exploring math with knitting forever.

    But what possibilities does lace offer?

    What is the theory of lace?

  36. Whoa. A #BobbinLace chair. With actual #bobbins!

    [image description: the black metal frame of 4 legs and an open seat and back area looks a little spidery. The seat and back fabric is a bobbin lace with diamond motifs. The headrest of the chair is a bolster pillow with pins in the back and the actual bobbins hang down behind.]
