Jean Genius
✂️ Love your old jeans but hate throwing them away?
My new book Jean Genius shows you how to repair, restyle, and completely reinvent denim — using the techniques I’ve honed over 20 years designing jeans for big brands, and later repairing and upcycling them here in the White Weft Studio.
Inside, you’ll find 18 step-by-step tutorials and DIY projects to help you mend rips, reshape your jeans, or upcycle them into striking, giftable accessories — from denim slippers and hats to bags and pouches.
Because jeans should never end up in landfill when there’s decades of potential left in the fabric.
Between projects, you’ll also discover insider know-how: the best tools and tricks for working with denim, the anatomy of a great pair of jeans, and how to choose a sewing machine that’ll last. It’s a rewarding guide for both beginners and confident makers.
When you buy the book direct from us, you’re supporting our small repair business — we receive 50% of the price instead of the 2.5% we get from third-party retailers. I truly appreciate every order and am happy to sign your copy personally.
And if you’d like to make it extra special, take a look at our exclusive gift set — the book paired with a handmade denim repair kit, crafted right here in our Brixton studio.

International customers
We really appreciate you ordering directly from the author as we get a much higher percentage of the sale that way, but if you are outside of the UK you might like to know that the book also has a number of international stockists that will be able to send your book at a lower cost (see below) If you would still prefer to order from us and have a signed copy we are more than happy to ship : ) Thanks for your support!
