sf zinefesticular

this past weekend i stopped by the san francisco zine fest and among all of the amazing small presses, zines, crafters and the like, i was most excited about 1984 printing. women-owned, recycled paper, vegetarian inks, etcetera et al, and so forth ad nauseum. definitely where i'll be getting my future zines printed.

meanwhile i'm having a bit of behind-the-table anxiety about portland which is, more than anything, lighting a fire under my ass to produce. the next few days will consist of some hardcore cutting and sewing.

the bifold wallets that i started selling fall of '06 on etsy are making a comeback. the difference now is that i've committed to one design instead of trying to entertain myself by reinventing the wheel every time.
i'm happy with these.



bifold layout. raw edges sewn with a satin stitch. inward facing pockets, two on one side, one on the other. with a durable interfacing for stiffness.
i used to call this something like the "party pack" because you could stick it in your back pocket when you go out and not have to carry a purse...but the ones i've made for me and my ever-enthusiastic craft tester/recipient ladi get daily use...
