Kat

A spread of two pages from a zine. On page one, a drawing of a cat yawns as it awakens + text “oh one fine morning I was awakened / Bella meow, Bella meow, Bella meow meow meow! / Oh one fine morning I was awakened to find the fascists at my door…” On page two, the cat stares sternly ahead, plus the text “abolish ICE.”

a hand holding a lockstitch awl tool poised over a worn black leather work boot with a zigzag repair seam across the top

trying a lockstitch sewing awl on the busted seam of my favorite work boots, from a box of vintage leatherworking tools my aunts gave me. It's easier than I expected, and if this repair holds up I'll definitely be using it on more household mending! #awl #repair #leatherwork #mending #shoerepair
