Workshop
The Pocket Project is an exhibition, workshop, and performance. It's also a talk, as everyone has a pocket story that they are happy to relate and we all commiserate, laugh, and chat as Sandye Renz crafts and sews on their new pocket.
Sandye encourages participants to bring the item they want pocketed (she has a rack of "blanks" just in case.) To make the actual pocket she has two small suitcases filled with fabric, pre-made pockets and pouches for attendees to rummage through and pick what they want me to use for their pocket, or participants can bring their own pocket materials. Sandye has all the tools and supplies. Now, where do you want this pocket?
“As soon as I learned to sew clothes I would add pockets to the patterns”- Sandye Renz. She doesn't sew her clothes anymore but she still puts pockets on almost everything. She is a pocket addict. It is so much easier to go through the day with pockets so why don't women's clothes have enough pockets? She schleps her sewing machine near and far to remedy this.
