Simplicity

   After meeting with David, I switched my focus from creating shorts to just creating a pocket. The thought process behind the decision was that I want to create something as simple as possible. Obviously things have become much more simple as I’ve gone along. The case was the most complex, dealing with plastics, creating a mold, and actually making my own design. The shorts were a lot easier, because I was able to buy shorts and just create a pocket but they cost more than I wanted. Now that I’m just creating a pocket, there is very little cost involved, if anything the pins and clasps make up most of the cost. David even suggested that I could sell the pockets in packages of three or so, that way people have more than one design to choose from. Yesterday I spent the day creating more pockets and then I went to JoAnn Fabrics to find a type of pin I could use so people can attach their pocket wherever they want. I have push back pins as well as normal pins. I think that creating just a pocket is the best way to go because then people won’t need to pay for the shorts as well, and because people won’t be limited to putting their pocket on shorts, maybe they’ll want to put it inside a purse or backpack or wherever!
