Portable, Functional, Wearable Art: Pockets.

Textile art in the form of patches and pockets was my visual focus for CMG18. Plato's "necessity is the mother of invention" rings true considering the historic tradition of quilting - and since one challenge of the Color Me Goodwill fashion event is to upcycle and repurpose Goodwill items, I looked to this tradition for inspiration. April 27th, show day, the pockets were pieced and sewn, but the creation of individual garments required so much time-intensive work - that the pockets had to be pinned to them at the last minute. However, I liked this effect and want to build upon the idea. To be able to transfer a little piece of fabric art from garment to garment is both fun and functional.
