Rage Sewn Vest

I’ve been rage sewing. A lot. My hands needed to be busy through these sickening times. A break from weaving, a project with just enough mental trial, physical exertion, time from start to finish, & purpose in the end result. So, vests.

 As always, the handmade pricing struggle is real, but also f*ck capitalism. They each took between 3.5 & 6.5 hours to make, not accounting for materials at all. I’d love to be paid for my time, but even more I want community & shared skills, joy in the little big things like pockets & stamina for continued darker times ahead. I know many can’t afford my products & I made these to get through grim days anyway.

Fully lined (often reversible) vests, adorned with a suitable bounty of 4 pockets. Crafted from my arsenal of fabrics, much of it vintage, donated, a lot hand-dyed &/or handwoven. To be loved as-is or a beginning canvas to add to. 

Pay-what-you-can please, from $30 up. And take care of each other.

*this vest is made with beautiful and very vintage quilt tops, often hand-stitched. Some are worn or more fragile than others. Sometimes I backed them with extra interfacing, sometimes not, but the actual backing is very new and strong. Please enjoy adding your own signature via some reinforcement stitching if you feel the need*
