Ahhh, “Bro bum lump”. Just like the Da Vinci code
No wait. It says brown. duck I’m slow this evening.
I've said it before but I reeeeeeally want a badge that says 'Onion Police' or 'Chop Chop'
I would wear the tit out of that

Don’t worry Phoebs it’s the taking part that counts
I don’t know if I’m even taking part at this point
white tshirt, cute little embroidered onion with “chop chop” under it. High fashion. Would 100% wear it.
The shirt is of a particular taste,. Not quite sure what that is yet, surely she be better showcasing a few items before flexing her sewing fingers.
Also if she's planning on opening a one man sweat shop she will defo need ones of the schmancy sewing gadgets, she needs plenty of Dino snores and cat naps and slow cooked tea drinking time.
Is no one aware of her body of work!!!!

A Boy London style cap (but not a snapback please) with TERRIBLE embroidered on it
Can you run a business from an aparthotel?
Edit: rephrased genuine question to sound like less of an edgelord.

Cabal x DKL collection
I want an artistic depiction of the lung she planned to cough up when DKL was recommissioned.
On a grey marl sweatshirt, please, Jackie.

The embroidery thing is cracking me up. I sew, knit, and make beaded jewellery. In fact, I make the vast majority of my clothes. Every time I put a picture up of something I've made, some well-meaning person will say, "Ooh lovely, will you make me one?" or something similar.
Normally I say "haha no, but here's a link to the pattern!" If they persist, I point out how ridiculously expensive my services would be. Occasionally I rant in private to a friend about how so many people think I should monetise my leisure time.
The other thing is...I'm pretty good, but I'm not a professional. I mean, I'm better at sewing than Jack is at embroidery! When I sew, I can fit my own body well, but I've never had to learn to adjust for someone who's tall or long-waisted or broad-shouldered etc. I'm also lazy at times, and I won't redo something that's a bit crooked or whatever because I'm the one who'll be wearing it. So I can't make things to a professional standard, but if I did lose my mind and decide to take commissions, I would nevertheless have to charge a very high amount due to the cost of raw materials and my time.
Every other crafter I know gets SO pissed off at being offered commissions, told to go pro, etc etc. It's one of the most common annoyances that we talk about - in fact, I was literally discussing this yesterday with a friend who does pottery as a hobby. It's something we all hate.
...so OF COURSE the one person who goes "yes my work is great and I should monetise it" is Jack bleeping Monroe. Of course it is.

They reckoned they couldn't take me off the list because of GDPR, so I'd just tell them to piss off. They even tried doing it when I was picking up dog poop once. Seriously wtf, absolute weirdos. Used to be funny when they'd try the vicar next door though.
That Insta celeb faces page is utterly insane. People look like aliens, which is funny, but the sly touch ups are more awful. Take an inch off, brush the wrinkles and take skin tone up a few shades....if I hadn’t seen the before/after, I would never have guessed. Absolute bottom of barrel though is ‘shopping kids!?! Making little girls bottoms shapelier or thinner. Those parents need arresting, not rewarding.
I need to move to the Arctic, or the Amazon jungle. This world is just too much for me!

I know someone who is a fantastic knitter who can knit anything she puts her mind too with a bit of thought and practice.
She did a project for fun a while back using a fancy wool she liked the look of, it turned out that particular wool didn't go far and she ended paying a small fortune to complete the project not to mention man hours. The final product was fab but no way would they have gotten their money back and profit as it just wasn't worth it.
If she thinks she gets pittance for books wait till she see what people will pay for a naff shirt.
Screw your Da Vinci Code shirt Jack. We’ve got HATS! 
What are the new hats in aid of?
Happy Cinco De Hellman's Fraus
Obviously have to have knickers saying UNRULY to wear under those joggers.
Came here for the slop, stayed for the Hats!
