On one of my many visits back to the Bay Area after quitting CCA, I prepared by making a bunch of pencil pouches for friends there. I recently stumbled upon the following photos while in a self-indulgent photo-archive-prowling nostalgia trip.
They're pretty cool pencil pouches, and I still have some of the fabrics! I got the fabric for this first one at an estate sale. It is one of my prized possessions, and I can't think of any project worth cutting it up for! Most likely I will gradually hack away at it with minuscule projects, like this:
I gave this one to Anna Weiner, I think!
Isn't that print amazing? What is it?! Where does it come from? I'd love to know its history. Just the other day I saw someone at an info booth at Honk Fest using a table cloth with the same print, but in red! I asked where it came from, of course, but they were distracted by something else and obviously didn't think it was as cool as I do.
Then there's this one, made with wool felt (also purchased at an estate sale, but a different one). I think this is the one I gave to Anna Bunting. I hope everyone is still using them! I love it when stuff I make for people gets used to tatters.
I cut little windows in the fabric for the print underneath to peek through!
Then, there's this one, for Imma:
And I won't post photos of the crocheted "rasta" hats I gave to Yohta and John on that trip... Ohhh, things that seem like a good idea at the time...
