REtreat Pt5 - Last Day & more Creations

These are the last of the photos

taken on the last day

of what I'm sure wont be the last REtreat.

Sue 
took advantage of my pattern making knowledge 
and some of the lovely fabrics I took along
and REcreated a simple slip frock from her wardrobe
into a pattern she will use alot
 

and along with
Judiths latest Piece of Cake
their love of combining colour was never more evident.

Judith
created this Piece of Cake Frock
using a mens Shirt and favourite Ikea fabric

Sue & Judith

and this
Piece of Cake
 by combining a [new] Tea Towel with Echino fabric bought from the Studio Shop



With overseas travel plans in Judiths very near future
easy wear travel friendly REinvents were called for
so an unwearable Skirt was transformed
into a fabulous throw-on-anytime Tunic Top.

Vicky

[the other half of the Splice Girls]

REinvented a pair of unworn Fishermans Pants into this 

delightfully shimmery Frock

and another pair of unwearable Pants
were transformed into a very wearable Skirt

and don't let's forget the Skirt.

There you go

we came

we sewed

we laughed, walked, talked, ate, drank & slept [a bit] & sewed some more.....

and I managed a little creating myself.

Frippery Lace Brooch

Now these wonderful women
who swing in & out of my life
and each others
have gone back to their high powered professional lives

having proved once again 

there is more to sewing than threading a needle

and that creating comes from the soul...

given the opportunity & freedom to explore their creativity
I think you'll agree the results are pretty impressive.
