I"ve got one I've been mulling about for a few months. It's something I might call 'Summer Pockets'.

See, most women don't have decent pockets in their clothing, certainly not large enough pockets for the purposes I have in mind.

In Juneau I wear jackets practically year 'round- and that means I have pockets. Pockets to hold my empty coffee mug, pockets for keys and tissues and dog doo doo bags and a half dozen other things.

But in those rare days and months that the sky is brilliant and it's warm and ya just-gotta-get-outside, guess what: We don't have pockets.

So I'm working on a beltlike contraption on which I can hang pockets with fold-over flaps that will all have velcro closures. Pockets of different sizes for different uses, uses such as my ubiquitous mornig mug of java, pockets big enough and small enough to hold a sketch pad and a couple of pencils, respectively. Pockets that will lie flat in a stack at home, pockets that already ;have velcro fasteners stitched on them, just ready to whip them onto the belt.

I haven't decided yet what material the pockets should consist of. Maybe canvas?
