Awl Or Nothing

Back on our red velour. We cut 93 yards of fabric this week! Definitely arm day 💪🏻✂️
More custom set drapes cut & sewn by us, for a special event at the end of the month ;) stay tuned for "after" photos in a few weeks!

When that perfect thing doesn't exist to buy, we've got you.

We were delighted to have some major league royalty in our studio the other week! The LDKs needed a little upgrade to their "formal wear", so they visited everyone's favourite pinch hitter--their Tailors. 🧵🌭🪡 These threads are now batting 1000.

Catch the at a Toronto Blue Jays Loonie dog game nights all season! See if you can beat their record ;)

New digs!
In case you missed it, we've moved! Now working with natural light 🪟

We've spent the last month settling in and setting up shop. While there's still a few finishing touches needed, we've got our tools accessible and are ready for you!

We've formed a Collective agreement with some of our other small business maker pals, so we can all support eachother and keep the community vibes strong while we work on creating your projects. Not to brag, but with this many brains in the space, our sourcing/supplier list is huge.

Still putting the final touches on the space, this week we installed some ceiling track and whipped up a few 12' curtains for our new fitting rooms. It's gonna be real cute 😻

We're still appointment-only, so reach out to us via email with your queries and you can come see our new workshop!

Exciting news!!! We're moving into a brand new studio space in one week!!
Above ground, giant windows and on the main floor 😎🪩
Thank you for your patience while we are away from our emails as we pack and unpack 😋
We'll be responding to your requests as soon as we're set up in the new digs and booking new projects for November 2024.
See you in the new spot so very soon 🤘✌️

Today is our 3rd anniversary of starting this little creative business that could! We've been really busy lately, and as a tiny team of two, we rarely have any photos of us both working together-- so today, instead of our silly faces you get to see 3 of our tiny prototypes from past projects!
That's right, sometimes our clients, or our clients' clients, need to see a quick visual of what the heck we're making for them. And sometimes we need to quickly test that an idea works, using minimal materials. Et voilà, the prototinys. It's not a rule, but these are roughly 1:6 in scale of the projects they become. And they bring us so much joy 🥰

Thanks for supporting us as makers and creators for these past 3 years!! We are looking forward to making your softgood project dreams a reality for many more to come.

Pssst... we will have some exciting news to share soon....stay tuned!! ;)

We've been busy bee's this spring, working away on all your cool projects. Please forgive our communication delays, testing this product for comfyness is the only break we've had 😜✌🏻
Now back to work!! ✂️🧵🪡

Oh hi, just a lil' drape repair for our friends over at So close, they walked it over to us 💕 that's as local as you can get!
Need an emergency fix? We can help ;)

We test all our creations thoroughly to make sure they will withstand wear & tear, based on how you've told us they will be used.
This is a very important part of our process!

Tests may include: wearability/movement, snag-tests, quickchange-ability, actor-friendliness levels, sit-tests, squishing, rolling, smooshing, napping, tomfoolery and general shenanigans.

Velour for days ✂️🪡🧵

A lovely little shoe restoration for a client who takes good care of their shoes---these are their favourite pair, they've had them resoled many times over the years by a cobbler and now needed some TLC to the uppers. Chanti was happy to help!

Stripped, repainted, scratch-resistant coating (because these are for real life, not the stage), fresh laces and a polish, for good measure!

Swipe for the before!
