weekend reads + such

This week I sewed the button back on one of Mr. Tribe's pants five pairs of pants (smiling at the thought of him standing in front of church...pants held together with the help of a scavenged binder clip). In looking these over, I was happy to find that they still have a lot of life left in them even though they are years old + have sustained a ton of wear.

I read Goodbye, Things: The New Japanese Minimalism by Fumio Sasaki in two days this week. I'm also browsing the library's collection of Japanese sewing books in search of some inspiration for Julia's cold weather wardrobe.

​Restoring ecosystem health with regional fashion. 
First there were smocks + now there are frocks!
A handmade uniform. (Those pants in the very top photo are the ultimate!)
Culture. Joy. Movement. Pride. I want some. (thanks Jo!)
Sweetness to knit.

Hope you have a lovely October weekend, friends!
Love,
​Jane
