Chores ᐧ 29 it was never our fault

29 it was never our fault

it was only when my heart broke for you
that I truly understood to forgive myself too

Poem by Shaina Yang

ᐧ 

29 it was never our fault wears her color with a softness and dignity accentuated by restrained sprinkles of embroidery above both elbows and across the breast pocket. Her name is an affirmation for the wearer, embroidered in private across a steady pinstripe lining; and over her heart she wears her Nicki Cherry charm, which hangs with both pride and hope. 

Materials
Vintage chore coat (cotton or cotton blend), patchwork lining constructed from antique indigo-dyed cotton fabric scraps, cotton embroidery floss, blister pearl and silver charm, glass beads

Care
For coats — remove charm using silver clasp, then dry clean or hand wash cold with mild detergent and line dry, warm iron on reverse with a little steam. Interior button serves as extra support for the silver clasp, which can be reinforced or removed as needed. For charms — gently clean with mild soap, warm water, and a soft cloth. Avoid wetting charms for extended periods of time. If using silver polish, avoid pearl.
