Introducing the LOL-let! The worlds first wallet featuring my patented “laugh out loud” technology.
You see the secret to the LOL-let is the appliqued (and embroidered) two “L”s and one “O” which are guaranteed to generate generous gobs of giggles and guffaws. [guarantee only valid in some scandinavian countries].
LOL-lets are available through my Etsy site or [...]
My tailoring gig for Self Edge has been crazy lately. We’ve opened online orders to our chainstitched hemming, and my work load has nearly tripled. I tailored 25 pairs of jeans just yesterday, which left my hands stained with an indigo dye, but also earned me enough to finally purchase a pair of the very [...]
This week has been a week of snowballing failures, but at least I’ve finally posted some of my newest batches of wallets and designs onto DocPopCrafts.com.

I haven’t been outside all day today. In fact, the last several days have all been spent indoors trying to build [...]
Yesterday I made my mock up holster for the BSP, a new yo-yo by Anti-yo. The denim is raw selvage denim. Now I have to make 74 more.
Although shipping my Etsy sales has kept me busy, I really have no excuse for not being more productive with my craftmaking. Luckily I tend to do my work in large batches, so I still have plenty of merch for my site despite not working on any wallets since late November.
I try to work on [...]
Self Edge, the denim store I do alterations for, has recently announced their new Self Edge/Flat Head collaboration… on a yo-yo message board.
The new SExFH jeans, slated to be released in June, feature a gorgeous leather patch that reads “Fun Time Yo-yo” with a classic illustration of our favorite retro-winding double knob toy. Of course [...]
6 years ago, you used to be able to walk into the Levi’s flagship store, pick up some raw denim jeans and go soak in them in a giant hot tub. The idea was part of Levi’s “Shrink To Fit” campaign. After their first soak, the jeans should be tight and form fitting, then you [...]
Well, yesterday was a total bust. I was supposed to open for MC Lars in Monterey and was looking forward to it, despite being pretty damn sick. Instead of renting a car, I was offered a ride by some friends who were also going to the show, but I didn’t know when exactly they’d pick [...]
Happy holidays, kids.
It’s Black Friday, the biggest shopping day of the year, and if you are anything like me you’ll be avoiding the stores for the rest of the year and doing your shopping online instead.

… my brand new cassette tape holders:
Just kidding. The picture above is of yesterday’s work, a new variation on my denim wallets. The design is the same, but each of these wallets was made from pieces of vintage neckties and scraps from a pair of Sugarcane’s Okinawa jeans.
I’ve found that stuffing the wallets with cassette [...]
