PPC18: Put it on my Tab!
So… Just when I thought I pretty much had the Packlets design down pat… a not so funny thing happened!It became frighteningly apparent to me that something HAD to change about this design, and that something was the strap! Now I know this may be disappointing news to some of you, but believe me, it’s for the…

So… in recent posts I’ve shown you six of the eight little bags that will eventually be part of our next pattern release. We’ve shown you the “Long Ones“, the “Wide Ones” and most recently, the “Short Ones“, and today we’re going to show you the last two sizes to be included in this pattern…

So… you might remember that early on in the process of designing our new Packlets pattern, I mentioned that it might be a good idea to apply fabric laminate to the lining, particularly if you thought you might use your little pouch to carry makeup or toiletry supplies. My thinking was that the laminated lining would aid…

Read MorePPC18: the First Two of Four
So… in our last post I showed you the “gorilla sample” for this new design and told you what I liked and didn’t like about it. And the next sample I made was a WIDER version (see at left in blue), and here’s the deal. This sample was a total disappointment to me… well almost. I can generally…
Read MorePPC18: The Prototype
So… in our last post I told you about the inspiration for our next design which can be used as a tech gear bag or even a cosmetic case. We also showed you the original sketches. And now… I’m ready to show you the very first prototype I made! But first… remember that this is a prototype…
