Male REinventions

With my workshops I do try hard to cater to everyone - including blokes!

I had my first male person join a REinventing workshop.

Jemesa happened to be in the right place at the right time, heard me talking about REinventing, thought it a good idea & made the call.
The fact that this is the first time a bloke has signed up is not through design on my part, I'd love it if more did, I think it's more likely because I don't target my audience - I'm happy to go where I'm invited, talk to anyone that's interested & teach those that want to learn.

Jemesa has some definite ideas on making REinvented garments for plus-sized women which I have no doubt he'll be very successful at.

Selfishly though I was pretty keen to work on mens clothes with him, for the short time I had him, so insisted he bring along something we could REinvent for him - he obliged.

Surprisingly for me it turns out that alot of the design techniques I use for womens REinventions are suitable for blokes. 

To me it makes sense that REinventing would appeal to both sexes - because REinventing makes sense.
Hopefully I'll get the opportunity to work with more men in the future.

Being the last day of the All Day Friday Workshop & Jemesas birthday we celebrated with cake for morning tea.
