Photo Shoot

Just did a li'l photo shoot with the new T/F bags and thought I'd update the picture on the website. These are the ones that didn't make the cut.
A big thanks to Dennis for being my sexy model and taking a hike in the woods with me when it was 20 degrees out.





T/F Bags

Musette bags I made for the 2010 True/False Film Fest. 110 in all.
15x11", 12x3" bottom. #8 cotton duck outside, 1000d Cordura nylon inside.
Look for a more in-depth post later.




The only red one.

Bag Ad

This is a LV advert from the New Yorker.

I'd work in that workshop, for sure.

Makin' Stuff Flat

So this is what I've been doing for the last coupla days: ironing the hell out of some bag flaps.
The embroidery machine (I forgot to take a picture of it--six heads, pretty impressive) left these nice circle creases in the fabric, which I had to iron out. 'Tweren't too bad. Though I had to do it 109 times. Ha.


There's the little offender there.
Sorry 'bout the shoddy images. I couldn't be bothered to use a proper camera.

Super Musette

I just put this together. My friend Linds did the screen print. 15x11", 12x3" bottom. #8 cotton duck, lined with 1000d Cordura nylon.


Trying a new simple pocket design here. This is a two-part pocket. The front pocket has a lip on the top. In theory this will keep small things like coins from sliding out if it's turned upside down. We'll see how it actually works... And then there's an open pocket behind it...with some pen pockets in there. Pretty snazzy.
Cross-strap attachment on the shoulder strap. I was going to put it in the seam, but I forgot. This works better anyway.
And here's what it looks like on someone who's fairly small. How tall are you, Jenny? I forget.

HP/MWBPC7

Columbia hosted the Seventh Midwest Bike Polo Championships this weekend. The weather was amazing, there were 43 (or so) teams, and como polo did a great job of organizing their first event.
And I made some waxed cotton hip packs for prizes.
Here're a few shots from day one of the tourney:
Chicago/Milwaukee

Saint Louis/Chicago
Bring out the artificial suns!
