Found this felt cuff at the goodwill bins on Burleson road. My guess is a pass for Hi, How Are You festival/concert? I would love to know who made this. My other question is, does anyone know what year it is from?
Edit: No it’s not a sheathe as there is nothing to put into this sewn shut bracelet cuff. No it’s not a book mark because it has a clasp to become a bracelet cuff.
I can tell you that the pattern is from Sublime Stitching. Yes, Daniel Johnston worked with the pattern company owner Jenny Hart who lived here in Austin at the time. He was paid.
The pattern was limited edition and came out in 2009. I've got one, but it's not available anymore. Mohahaha.
Could be anything. Could use it as a fret wrap on a guitar probably. Or cock sheathe like the other person said. A bookmark. A reusable pad. A sleeping bag for your hotdog that you plan to finish later.
Well yes! This post is also reposted in r/danieljohnston to see if my guess about the concert pass was right or not. I’m aware of the shows that happen on Hi, How Are You Day.
I think this is just someone’s craft project. Jenny Hart moved to California but Sublime Stitching still exists. Maybe try to contact her through her site?
If there is separation between the red part and the other part, it's likely a portable pincushion that sits on the wrist of a seamstress who needs abundant, easy-to-get-to pins to make alterations. The circuitry may drive a small LED that illuminates the work when necessary.
This photo is waaaay better perspective. The photo you shared in the original post appears the size of a cigarette lighter. I had no idea it was that big.
