It all started with homemade clothes for my daughter, which turned out to bring a feeling of accomplishment by making small items like head bands, buffs and the occasional dress. Head bands and buffs take approximately an hour to make, whereas a dress can take several evenings.

I sew on a regular sewing machine for now and dream of aquiring an overlock machine eventually.

Saxystæsj

Developed in collaboration with actual saxophone players.

A home made stuff-holder, inspired by the saxophone players' endless supply of whatnots which they can't fit on their music stand and that constantly tumbles around breaking the magic of the concert.

Put in on the chair, sit on it and keep everything within reach - both during rehearsals and concerts.

It has received great feedback from the early buyers, and several suggested to make a wider pocket to fit the cellphones of those of us who put credit cards and whatnots in there. I listened and the Saxystæsj now has one side with equally large pockets, whereas the other side has a wide and a thin pocket - perfect for cellphone and pencils!

Price: 450,- kr (NOK)

Postage will be added to the price.

Measurements: 15 cm * 100 cm.

4 pockets.
