today i made a little 'proof-of-concept' bag to figure some zipper mechanics, and wow did it ever turn out to be a cute bag...

eastside culture crawl

the eastside culture crawl is my favourite event in the city...

even before i participated my work...i found it to be the funnest way to see so many different 'creators' in the city.

this year fiveleft has moved to a new location...the 'courtyard' of the mergatriod building

all those that visited us in the 1000 parker building, i hope you find us in the new location...it seems to be catching on, as we have had a great turn out so far...almost too much.

here is some pics of our set up....one day left, come check it out...this is the most fiveleft leathergoods in one place so far.

im glad i had a chance to snap some pics between the madness...i love culture crawl

east side culture crawl

it is that time of year again...my favourite schmoozy event.

the east side culture crawl nov 26,27,28

come and see the tools, tables, and the random strange objects that make the fiveleft studio tick...

...and if you're lucky you might be around when we fire up the landis #1. One of the oldest, largest, loudest sewing machines you will ever see...wow...what a sight...

here are some pics from last year...
