The Politician can be whatever you want him to be…a pouch for lip balm and ear buds, a review mirror decoration, a bag charm, gently stuff and stitch closed to make an ornament, or embellish a gift by tying The Politician to the bow. He was inspired by incessant media coverage, my recent obsession with pouches, and a desire to channel my creative energy into crochet.
