From Frustration to Innovation: Zoya's Journey in creating the Maker’s Toolbelt

In the realm of fashion design, Zoya's journey toward creating the Maker's Toolbelt, began with a simple yet significant problem. A wrist-worn pin cushion had hindered her creative flow, making her question how to keep her hands untethered while having essential tools within reach. She crafted the solution, a waist-worn toolbelt. Embracing the newfound convenience, she realized this creation's immense potential as an invaluable asset for all Makers and Creators - designers, sewers, crafters, tailors, stylists, instructors, and students, enhancing efficiency and creativity
