Magic of Pockets: Why Your Clothes Don't Have Good Pockets & How To Fix That
Paperback Book
Transform your wardrobe with this step-by-step guide to sewing pockets into your favorite clothes. With simple instructions and line drawings, this book teaches six basic pockets, with suggested alterations to customize each pocket to your wardrobe needs, while learning the history of what pockets looked like and why they remain a political tool today. All the projects are designed for beginner sewists, and most can be made by hand, with no specialty tools or machine required.
For every pair of pants with the pockets sewn shut, for every skirt with nowhere to put your hands, for every jacket missing a place to put your cash, there is one dress with pockets big enough to hold your entire world. Finding that one feels like finding a lucky clover among the grass. But clothes with pockets should not be so rare. There are reasons why (spoiler alert: it’s about patriarchy and capitalism!), and this book will teach you some of the history of fashion and politics, but more importantly, this book will teach you how to fix the problem yourself. With the skills in this book, you can make your old clothes useful again. This book is for sewists who don’t always have the time and energy to make a whole garment, and it’s also for those beginners who have never used a needle and thread. This book is for people who aren’t satisfied with clothes as they are and want to make a change. Most of all, this book is for everyone, because everyone deserves pockets.

Therapeutic Edgelands No. 06
Therapeutic Edgelands is a quarterly zine, made in Detroit. This is an experiment in collective artmaking -- a slow, analog social media
Each issue contains several "Invitations", which are designed to help us connect with our social and attentional ecologies, to unsettle habitual patterns of relating and to encourage creative process. Each Zine will feature reader artwork and responses.
A.W.E. Society
The A.W.E. Society (Area Wilds Exploration Society) is a platform for the experiential and collaborative eco-art projects of Bridget Quinn. A.W.E. Society events invite participants and collaborators to play within the borderlands between the city and nature, between the psyche and the environment. Realms that are not distinct, but instead are completely interwoven.
Who is Bridget Quinn?
Bridget Quinn is the descendant of European settlers and immigrants whose feet touch the earth on so called Warren, Michigan — land of the Anishinaabe people.
She grew up in the suburbs at another place at the juncture of rivers in Eau Claire, Wisconsin. Witnessing the slow violence enacted upon the forests and prairies around her childhood home as they were transformed into stripmalls and suburban development left a lasting impression on her. As a kid she lead her two best friends on explorations of the transforming suburbs- they climbed into storm sewers and played in the vestiges of woods interrupted by construction equipment. She intuitively develops coping strategies for living in a sick society- art, research, community and action are all central to her healing.
Raised without formal religion her spirituality is feral. She noticed how monarchs live and die having only completed part of the journey and she accepts this as her fate also.
Her current calling is to continue to do work of weaving the world together in life giving ways. She is anti-capitalist, anti-colonial, and anti-patriarchal – but she also is aware that the wounds of theses oppressive systems lay within her body. She is committed to mutual aid, reparations, and land back movements. She is here to take risks, and make sacrifices in order to align her soul, heart, mind and body with the spirit of the world. She creates images, stories and experiences that help her connect with worlds, past present and future that lay hidden within the now.
Contemporary Prayers 2013 by Hannah Burr
A book by artist Hannah Burr
An artist's book of blunt prayers to nothing-in-particular. Burr uses these prayers to relax and enjoy seismic shifts in her life. They’ve helped her remember, as she forgets repeatedly, that there are larger forces at work, gravity for example, of which she is a part. These prayers help her accept and tap into whatever that is.

Every artist has tools of their trade— knitters have needles and yarn, painters have brushes and easels, stitchers have needles, thread, and fabric — and every artist will tell you the tools of their trade can be expensive, especially when you're just starting out. When you’re looking for a set of supplies to explore a new medium, figuring out what you actually need can be overwhelming and cost-prohibitive. Make & Mend was born out of a desire to change that narrative. Established in 2017 by Somerville artist Emily Tirella, Make & Mend is working to remove the financial barriers to creation by offering gently used art supplies at an accessible rate for seasoned artists and first-timers alike. Like any great work of art, our shop has moved through many forms. Make & Mend was once a brick and mortar space but in March 2020 we said good-bye to our tiny shop and we have now moved to a fully digital platform serving the makers of the Boston artist community and beyond!

Help me shares the same concept as Contemporary Prayers to * [whatever works], Burr's first book, while introducing a new visual language made from bits of detritus in her studio, a focus on creative boldness, and broadens the fan base of the first book considerably.
Cover design by Leila Simon Hayes, Creative Director of ICA Boston.

Every artist has tools of their trade— knitters have needles and yarn, painters have brushes and easels, stitchers have needles, thread, and fabric — and every artist will tell you the tools of their trade can be expensive, especially when you're just starting out. When you’re looking for a set of supplies to explore a new medium, figuring out what you actually need can be overwhelming and cost-prohibitive. Make & Mend was born out of a desire to change that narrative. Established in 2017 by Somerville artist Emily Tirella, Make & Mend is working to remove the financial barriers to creation by offering gently used art supplies at an accessible rate for seasoned artists and first-timers alike. Like any great work of art, our shop has moved through many forms. Make & Mend was once a brick and mortar space but in March 2020 we said good-bye to our tiny shop and we have now moved to a fully digital platform serving the makers of the Boston artist community and beyond!

Microcosm emphasizes skill-building, showing hidden histories, and fostering creativity through challenging conventional publishing wisdom with books and zines about DIY skills, food, bicycling, gender, self-care, and social justice.Microcosm has lived in milk crates, in closets, in a mud room, in a windowless basement, in a church, and under a desk at a major credit card company. We've brought our brightly colored books to infoshops, zine fests, media summits, bicycle conferences, parks, street corners, house shows, dirty bars, allnight coffeeshops, art museums, and every corner of the mainstream where we can clear away a little space to set up shop. We set out to save ourselves from not caring, but out there in the margins we've found communities worth always doing it better for. Now we have contracts instead of handshakes, a warehouse instead of a fanny pack full of zines. We have a staff, we have relationships in the industry that send our books to places we wouldn't have dreamed we could walk into ourselves. We're not as drunk or dirty as we used to be.

Made from Scratch: Discovering the Pleasures of a Handmade Life
Jenna Woginrich started this project with admiration for small farmers and frustration with a consumeristic world that moves too fast and creates too much waste. Woginrich reasoned that learning a few basic country skills and ditching consumer culture could take her back to a simpler time, with simple pleasures like eating vegetables and wearing clothes you've grown and made yourself. This book is the account of Woginrich's journey, and a call for the reader to take up the same DIY mantle. Learn how to take care of your own needs and extricate yourself from the web of consumerism with this guide to homesteading and account of one woman's experience of leaving the fast-paced world behind. No matter where you live or how much experience or knowledge you have, it is possible to make yourself a little more self-sufficient.

A.W.E. Society
The A.W.E. Society (Area Wilds Exploration Society) is a platform for the experiential and collaborative eco-art projects of Bridget Quinn. A.W.E. Society events invite participants and collaborators to play within the borderlands between the city and nature, between the psyche and the environment. Realms that are not distinct, but instead are completely interwoven.
Who is Bridget Quinn?
Bridget Quinn is the descendant of European settlers and immigrants whose feet touch the earth on so called Warren, Michigan — land of the Anishinaabe people.
She grew up in the suburbs at another place at the juncture of rivers in Eau Claire, Wisconsin. Witnessing the slow violence enacted upon the forests and prairies around her childhood home as they were transformed into stripmalls and suburban development left a lasting impression on her. As a kid she lead her two best friends on explorations of the transforming suburbs- they climbed into storm sewers and played in the vestiges of woods interrupted by construction equipment. She intuitively develops coping strategies for living in a sick society- art, research, community and action are all central to her healing.
Raised without formal religion her spirituality is feral. She noticed how monarchs live and die having only completed part of the journey and she accepts this as her fate also.
Her current calling is to continue to do work of weaving the world together in life giving ways. She is anti-capitalist, anti-colonial, and anti-patriarchal – but she also is aware that the wounds of theses oppressive systems lay within her body. She is committed to mutual aid, reparations, and land back movements. She is here to take risks, and make sacrifices in order to align her soul, heart, mind and body with the spirit of the world. She creates images, stories and experiences that help her connect with worlds, past present and future that lay hidden within the now.
