The Story

Back in 2015 I was packing to study abroad in the UK. I couldn’t find a lightweight organizer for traveling with my drawing tools; I didn’t want anything bulky because I had to carry everything I needed with me each day! The organizers on the market were often bulky, with dark interiors, and difficult to use quickly, on-the-go. After a bit of trial and error, I created the first iteration of the maker roll, which I still use today.

The Details

• The top left corner is tacked down to keep tools from rolling off your lap.

• The pocket is angled so that as pencils shrink, you can slide them into the shorter pockets.

• Everything rolls open and shut quickly, so if you’re an urban sketcher like me, quick subway sketches are a cinch.

The Sustainability

• The rolls are made in small batches, minimizing fabric waste by design. Any leftover scraps are save to be used in quilts.

The Uses

• Drawing

• Watercoloring/Painting

• Crotchet/Knitting

• Make-up brushes

The Quick Specs

• 19” long x 10.5” tall (unfolded; 8” folded)

• 100% lightweight cotton & cotton twill tape closure; polyester thread

• 16 - 1” pockets

• 1 - 3” pocket

• weighs approximately 1.8 oz.

The Final Note

• Each set of rolls is made in a limited run of 6-10 total rolls of a particular fabric. Once the rolls are sold out, that is it.
