Hey, I worked as a cobbler for a short while, and watched and learned how to do that kinda stuff for a few years before/after whilst chatting to friends in the shops. Plus I have an AVCE in Art&Design and a BA Hons from UAL - neither were specifically fashion or textile, but the AVCE had a whole module on textile work back in '05 and during my BA I was bookmaking, sculpting, etc.
I've been altering my own clothes on a basic home sewer for a few years, and found it too limiting when trying to sew webbing/bags for DIY bikepacking kit before the ride to Berlin a while back.
Still very much in its infancy, this project, and the machines I'm using are very old. Until I have a consistent source of reclaimed material this is really a diary kinda thread to cover the experiments leading up to something worthwhile.

Hey! Great thread. Sorry if this has already been covered but how did this all come about what's your background? I was at one point getting leather goods made in a well known area of Spain and love researching all of this stuff as well as shoe manufacture and processes, thats all on hold for now though until I sort other stuff out. You follow Marcel Masan's work? Cheers!
