MADELEINE LARKIN X SAM WOUD

I made this t-shirt maybe fifteen years ago. I remember i chopped the middle out because I wanted to erase the logo that was on the front. I made the cut in a curved shape to delete as much of the logo as possible without interfering with the sleeves. I didn’t have a sewing machine handy so i hand stitched it and turned the stitching into a feature. The final result is a product of accident and necessity, and I love it!

It stayed forgotten in a box at mum and dad’s house for years before I recently rediscovered it and decided to make MORE.

More is more so I decided to incorporate a print into my new shirts. I asked dear friend and talented illustrator Madeleine Larkin to design a print for them. I love the designs Madeliene’s done for MUD over the years, and the MUD tshirts she designed are some of my favourite shirts I own.

We talked about creating a design inspired by collaboration, community, and most importantly, the mark of the hand.

I’m in love with the finished product <3

NEWEST JUMPERS

This year I am committed to using up as much of my stash of salvaged yarn yarn as possible. This includes unravelling half finished projects, some of which have been sitting in bags for half a decade, and turning them into new work.

I have a new pattern and a firm resolve. I cannot fail.

Work so far:

HOT HOT HOT

New stuff, new photos! We did this shoot on a 40 degree day in Northcote with nothing but a pedestal fan and some luke warm, ankle deep water to keep us from passing out :P

I'm so pleased with the results. I hope you love them too!
