(Also known as: the reliable, temperamental, and quietly magnificent tools that make it all possible)

Monograph Millimetre Paper: Gridded, crisp, and prone to curling when left in sunlight. Ideal for blueprinting improbable bags or doodling wildflowers with spectacles.

Pfaff Ambition 620: German, dependable, and slightly smug. Stitches like a dream, argues like a librarian.

Ritza Tiger Thread: Waxed to perfection. Bold, unyielding. Smells faintly of beeswax and resolve.

Fil au Chinois Thread: A Parisian guest at the party—elegant, strong, and just a touch finicky.

Thread Cutter: Small but mighty. Disappears frequently. Reappears in odd places.

KAKURI Japanese Fabric Scissors: Razor-sharp, reverent, and possibly imbued with ancient magic.

Westcott Titanium Embroidery Scissors: Gold-handled, lightweight, precise. Believes itself to be royalty.

Revolving Punch No.223: Makes holes. Loudly. With purpose.

Seiwa Bond Ace Glue: Bonds like a first crush. Smells suspiciously like responsibility.

Ethically Sourced Leather: No shortcuts, no cruelty. If it couldn’t be worn by a kindly Victorian ghost, it doesn’t make the cut.

Each of these companions has a personality. Together, they turn scraps into stories and materials into meaning. Without them, there’d be no wardrobe rebellions or misfit accessories—only intentions and daydreams.
