The "Spike" Overalls - Upcycled Dark Blue Lee Button Up Overalls w/ Embroidery & Grandmother's Flower Garden Quilt Blocks

Named after the dog, Spike, who is available for adoption through the Minnesota Animal Humane Society, these Upcycled Dark Blue Lee Button Up Overalls feature floral embroidery & Grandmother's Flower Garden Quilt Block Patchwork details and embroidery detail in front chest pocket and right strap. Has front and back pockets + a mini chest pocket with flower garden party detail. These thrifted overalls are reworked with embroidery and grandmother's flower garden quilt blocks. 

Each quilt block is machine-sewn on before being hand appliquéd with embroidery thread to make them durable and built to last. Due to the antique nature of the quilt blocks, some staining, discoloring, or holes are present and expected. Examples of these are documented in the photos for reference.

Sustainability Statement

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 and all of the quilted pieces, quilts, and remnants are 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.
