Sew-What-You-Like Workshop - Day4

The 2nd day 
for the 2nd group
of  
2-Day All-Day Sew-What-You-Like Workshop participants
saw an explosion of finished creations

The delightful  JoAnne joined us for the first time
 having keenly watched the Blog for some time 
Jo had a pretty good idea which direction her creativity would take
starting with an unwearable wrap skirt
transformed with fabric & frogs
into the perfect skirt for summer 


an uncomfortable op shop sourced top
was refashioned into a one-of-a-kind wear-anywhere tunic


and two tops that weren't being worn
are now one top Jo will wear 


Sue has been a regular paticipant in workshops
for a few years now
 and has also joined me on every Busselton REtreat
I could go on for ages about Sues ability
suffice to say Sue is now coming to class confident enough to have created her own patterns
as evidenced by this Top
created by copying one of her favoutite tops



with only a few minor pattern adjustments
Sue now has a Top pattern perfect for her



which is also what happened with these white pants
starting life as an op shop sourced Size 24 
 after creating a replica pattern of her favourite comfy pants
Sue created the perfect for her Size 14 summer casuals
and the Top was refashioned from too-small to perfect-fit
by adding a little extra in the side


knowing what to expect
Elise came armed with her already cut out Change of Heart Skirt
only this time we lined it
which means that Elise has earned the title of
first-ever-person-on-the-planet to create a lined Change of Heart Skirt


and after creating 4 zippered cushions 
Elise is well on her way to being an expert
earning her the other title of
 Studio Zipper & Cushion Queen


and our darling Kate
who is always so happy to be here
who fills the Studio with fresh air & light
nearly made a Tea Frock


which she loves so much 
there's plans to fill her wardrobe with them

Everyone that walks through the Studio doors is different
every creation which is created here is different
expectations vary from person to creation and back again
what always remains the same however
is the reward and sense of achievement
experienced on a similar level by everyone



so lets do it again
in November!
