Patches
Out in the desert, there’s talk of a mysterious little house patched together by various materials with a spinning sign spelling out her name, “Patches.’ Inside this little house, a lady named Patches with her foot pedal powered sewing machine, and all the patches you can think of. Got a hole in your pocket? She’ll patch that. Pop a tire? She’s got a patch for that too! Craving a sugar snack? She’s got sour patches for ya!

Project Philosophy
The idea of Patches was born out of sheer laughter walking to dinner with our sides hurting imagining a crazy lady with a sewing machine out in the desert. Upon visualizing her over the years she became an embodiment of the idea that we as humans are all here on this Earth patched together, mismatched, sometimes in extraordinary fashion. All with our own little ways of patching up the universe as we journey though it. Her little house is merely the beacon of all things patches. To bring this character to life in all her glory is the dream of pure joy in all the chaos. That we can hold each other together until a better patch comes along to stitch close the holes in our jackets and houses that are our lives.
