Holster Vests are Live!

~
Here's one I just made for my good friend, Lauren. She's constantly on the road (and in the air) for her business ventures (HOPE Clips and Kismetry, to name a few...) and just for fun, so she wanted something ultra-portable and loved the original holster vest I made with the same fabric!
Here's a blue and black leather vest with riveted pockets, for sale on Etsy, Packable:

And next-up is this pretty fabric that I hand snow-dyed (tutorial on the Gypsy Theories Blog HERE):

I'm so happy to get these listed! Now I just have to work on the photographs.

{packable} holster 001 + button-down transformation

holster 001 : patterned + sewn (upcycled joe's jeans!) : mission accomplished!!!
[many, many, MANY more of these in so many different styles + fabrics, to come. i have been sketching them and planning {packable} for years, all based on variations of this design!]
+
button-down transformation : needs some taking in, especially on the right side, but going well
: after :
...
a successful wednesday in the studio!

My Mantra

"Creating functional art and community purpose through honest design and love of craft."

(After hours of re-working, taken from the Type I Toolkit in Drive by Daniel H. Pink.)

And more; motivational questions from Drive:

1. What gets you up in the morning?
 -  Believing that each [purposeful] step I take leads us closer to our ideal, independent, and autonomous lives.

2. What keeps you up at night?
 -  Wondering if I did enough "good" today.

Here's to Packable truly getting on its own two feet and seeing the world!
