Molly — A Maker, Making Her Own Way

I wander. I let the wind blow me. Or, I’ll stop and settle in for a while. My Chevy van is home. I have a big industrial sewing machine and two dogs. I built out a van with my own two little hands. Every bit of her has been touched by me, including deep within her engine. I carry tools. It’s a tiny workshop on wheels, with a comfortable spot to sleep, and a stove to cook wholesome food.

I’m a bag maker, a traveler, and so much more.

Making My Way

A Maker’s Life on Wheels

Road Dirt & Pie is a step away from the ordinary life. It’s a life on the road, in a self built camper van, that’s more like a tiny workshop on wheels. Traveling small highways and back roads, through small towns, and Rocky Mountains, I stop to camp, and I make bags. It’s a life I’ve made for myself, bucking the status quo, and adventuring on, in my tiny workshop on wheels, making my own way.

  • Last day of a DIY bed liner paint job on my Chevy express van turned into a camper and tiny workshop on wheels.

    A Giant Undertaking

    Eighteen slow months were taken to build out my tiny workshop on wheels. It had to be just right for working and living. It had to have strong bones—a good engine and stout suspension. She had to be rugged and outfitted—tough enough to hit the back roads. And comfortable, too. An inside buffered with sound deadening material and thick insulation. Agnes is a formidable tank, and I’m a resourceful steward, with tools.

  • Inside the Van

    My tiny workshop. Nothing new, or fancy, but just what I need. The lighting is good, and the view is ever changing. This is where the creative magic happens, and so many waxed canvas bags have been made.

  • Home, for a Few Days

    It’s a good life, having the freedom to go where the wind blows me. I spend a lot of time near the water, where the sounds and smells are fresh and alive.
