The NEXT level!

It's time to take RE-inventing to the next level!
In my eternal quest to share my knowledge and raise the bar regards making & wearing your own creations I am proud & excited to announce my first ever FASHION TALK in an OP Shop!
This has come about due to a combination of karma, serendipity, good luck, good planning, believing in what you do and good people believing the same.

(Click on the Poster if it's difficult to read)

I see the evening playing out a bit like this - people will arrive just before 7pm to be seated comfortably before the show starts - I'll talk, Eliza will model, lots of oohhing & ahhing, I'll talk some more, people will ask questions, I'll do a bit more talking, I'll stop talking and invite all my RE-inventors wearing their RE-inventions to make themselves known so that everyone can see real people wearing real clothes, people can come up and have a closer look at my RE-invented garments and then with loads of inspiration they'll browse through the racks grabbing garments at 20% off! If anyone requires assistance regards what & what not to buy I'll be there to guide their decision.
I am sooooo EXCITED - what an amazing opportunity in the ultimate location!

Skirt Love

I'm in love with this skirt!
So much so I already have 5 lined up to do the same or similar thing to.

It started life as a gathered skirt onto yoke with invisible zip and wide hem.
I decided I wanted a wrap skirt with twist.

ps. Happy Birthday Dad

Old friend...

This skirt is an old (5yrs) favourite - like an old friend she's there when I need her. Today is going to be a scorcher 40degrees and I didn't have the energy to think too hard about what to wear.
Like a good friend this skirt gets better with age!

She's got 'IT'...


I came across Ceciles 'Recycled by Hyenas' designs when she joined my group. Working in the field of sustainable fashion and being a huge advocate for Re-inventing & fan of Re-inventors it is obvious to me that the girl's got a lot of talent and is deserving of any & all accolades. Have a look at what she is capable of and what she has submitted into this competition and if you feel the same way then I'm sure you too will feel as compelled as I to VOTE!
