DIY studio · anti-counterfeit classroom

Give a fake a second life. Never a second identity.

Sewing, home, costumes — and a public workshop that retires counterfeits instead of laundering them. Keep the cloth. Drop the borrowed name.

House rule: if it can still pass as the original, it is not finished.

Tutorial · hardware

Hardware harvest

Zippers and rivets are materials. Engraved lock faces are claims. Treat them differently.

Tutorial · footwear

Sole planters

A counterfeit sneaker is a foam boat with someone else’s flag. Take the flag down. Grow mint.

Sew · leftovers

The oversized scrunchie

A Saturday project from lining scraps. Layout sample — swap this copy in Studio whenever you are ready.

Sew · small goods

Heart pouch from leftover leatherette

A tiny bag with a workshop mark, never a house mark. Layout sample for the sew grid.

Home · one afternoon

Paint the closet magenta

One saturated door can change how a whole hallway behaves. Layout sample for the home column.

Home · fabric

Hung the curtains

Floor-length panels, a wooden ladder, and the moment the room finally had a hem. Layout sample.

Costumes · construction

Backstage corset

Boning, grommets, cream silk offcuts. A costume that is clearly made, never borrowed from a house.
