I’ve been spending more time on natural dyes lately.
Beautiful colours made with plants and old-time skills.
The thread will soon be available in the Etsy shop.
organic cotton thread
Organic cotton thread, unbleached, undyed, no finishes. Heavy sewing or topstitch weight, 40 metres on a wood spool. Grown and spun in India.
organic cotton, treadle power
Sewing a new style on the Raymond treadle.
Inspired by the recent tailored shirt to make some more intricate things with all-organic, dye-free cotton and organic thread.
I love using this beautiful machine.
Canary Rocks
Tonight, at the Phoenix in Toronto!
Luke’s first canary star shirt has been working hard for the past year.
The new one has three thousand hand set studs.
Canary loves Luke and The Dirty Nil!
With debts to to Judas Priest, Metallica, Nudie, Gram, Phil Ochs, Manuel Cuevas and John Prine.
The canary rocks category and canary suits page have some of the other custom clothes made for musicians, and the things that inspired them.
canary clothes care
All Canary clothes can be machine washed and dried, in any temperature.
They will not shrink.
Because the fabrics are organic, any manufacturing finishes are water-soluble and rinse out. They do not contain formaldehyde or other harsh chemicals and permanent resins typically used on non-organic clothing.
