The Horse Camp Crewneck - Upcycled Vintage Crewneck with 1930s Quilt Patch & Vintage Horse Patch

Introducing the first pieces from our Year of the Horse Collection, these are called the Horse Camp Sweatshirt.

This piece is upcycled using a vintage purple crewneck with a faux light purple collar and appliquéd with a vintage 1930s feedsack grandmother's flower garden quilt patch, vintage horse fabric, and applied using 100% cotton thread. 

I made these in memory of my childhood of going to horse camp as a kid and growing up at the barn where my sister (and sometimes myself) rode horses. This collection is an ongoing project for this year as I reflect on my childhood and also learn more about my Chinese heritage.

Due to the reclaimed nature of the materials, stains and minor cosmetic flaws are to be expected. However, I do my best to reference all the flaws in the photos.

Each piece is made as sustainably as possible with the intention to not add more fabric to the landfill and an attempt to be as close to zero-waste as possible. I source all of the clothing from thrift stores, yard sales, estate sales, and other secondhand pathways, and all of the quilted pieces, quilts, and remnants are also second-hand. I also try to source as much of my sewing thread and embroidery thread second-hand as much as possible, while reusing packaging materials as well.

CARE INSTRUCTIONS:

Due to the vintage and delicate nature of the upcycled materials and quilt patches, these pieces are hand-wash and line or rack dry only. I also recommend spot cleaning when possible to extend the life of your garment or accessory

TWO HOWLING LABS GUARANTEE:

If the embroidery thread* comes undone, each piece comes with a lifetime guarantee and I will repair the stitching free of cost. For handmade items, I will repair any rips or tears that occur due to improper stitching or manufacturing.

*Please note: the guarantee only applies to the added work on the garment, not the thrifted item itself. I also cannot repair items that haven't been up-kept with the above care instructions. If you have a larger repair (ie: a hole develops somewhere on the thrifted clothing item), I can repair these for a small fee and the cost of shipping.
