outside over there

i have been working on a new set of sewn drawings for an upcoming show at vagabond boutique (check out their blog and new web shop!). the opening is on first friday in june (june 1st), at vagabond boutique in old city. hopefully the sun will be shining and i hope to see some of you there if you can make it! i posted some sneak peeks of some of the pieces on instagram (user name madebyhank) if you want to jump over there to check them out. i'll also post them to the madebyhank facebook page soon, for those of you without smartphones. more soon. but for now it's back to the sewing machine i go! xo, hank

it's official! the web shop is newly stocked with fresh madebyhank items! check them out here. i'm so excited and nervous about tip-toeing back onto the internet. i'll have more words in the next few days, and i have lots of new projects up my sleeve, so stay tuned. xo, hank.

look for these in the shop monday afternoon!

a few sneak peeks of some of the things i've been working on lately. if you would like to follow me on instagram, my user name is madebyhank. do it!

i apologize for not having the web shop update ready yet, but a very exciting and super last minute opportunity was presented to me, so i jumped on it! i will be one of five makers (along with sue of giant dwarf, sarah of girlscantell, liz of betsyannpaper, and melissa of shopmissmillie) taking place in a pop-up shop at the art alliance in philadelphia for two weeks, starting this tuesday.

also working a new set of stitchings for an upcoming show at vagabond boutique. show opens may 4th. more details on that
soon.

i will be sharing a booth with melissa crotty of miss millie ceramics at the renegade craft fair in brooklyn this summer. she is a super talented maker and an topnotch human, so i am excited to work with her again!

so even though i have been a quiet on the internet, i assure i have been working nonstop these past weeks. i will keep everyone posted on the web shop update.

hope everyone is enjoying the beginnings of spring! xo, hank

hello again

oh, hey! i'm here. and i'm still alive. i apologize for falling off the face of the internet for the past few months. i had to take a little break, but i have new bags in the works and a few new projects up my sleeve. i just wanted to say a quick hello and make sure you haven't forgotten all about me. i have been scouring thrift shops for fabrics and belts to repurpose into new bags, and i'll be posting sneak peeks in the coming weeks while i work on inventory and re-working my shop a bit. i also started a madebyhank facebook page where i will be posting little updates and tidbits and photos throughout my workdays. you can find the new page here. more soon! xo, hank
