I'm sure I've used the term
'hit the ground running'
on numerous occasions in relation to sewing workshops here at the Studio
and the latest 2day All Weekend Sew What You Like Workshop
[combining REinventing with Basic & Beyond]
[combining REinventing with Basic & Beyond]
was no exception
the girls arrived Saturday morning knowing exactly what they wanted to achieve
and left Sunday afternoon with all boxes ticked...

Linda has been stitching with me since the Freo Art Centre days
and she loves clothes
nearly as much as she loves cutting them up
to REinvent

After Elise inserted her first Invisible Zip
into her newly REfashioned maxi halter frock-to-flowy peasant skirt
she set about creating a Collette 'Sorbetto' Top
complete with our 2 styles of bias binding application

and because Elise enjoys the creative process
as much as she loves challenging herself
there was potential to adapt the pattern slightly
so we added a Peter Pan Collar
to what I think could be a new favourite wardrobe staple

Bree can now sew anything
as proved by her latest project
the stunning silk cotton fully lined crop jacket
executed with precision to perfection
to go with the gorgeous frock
completed last time
and while bias binding might not be everyones favourite
[we love it here at the Studio]
Bree's love/hate relationship with it
didn't get in the way of
her REfashioning an unwearable frock into a flattering skirt
with a splash of bias binding to finish the waist.

| By shortening the existing Invisible Zip we saved time & expense |

a very rewarding & productive 2day workshop
which proved just too exhausting for some....
Ah, beautiful work everyone! What great projects.
ReplyDeleteI have a bit of a 'thing' with bias binding which is all to do with the fact that I don't really understand how it works. How much of it shows on the outside? Does it all get turned onto the inside? I am really lost on that one. The bias binding of the lovely bright fabric with the white garment looks so beautiful! I wish the photo would show more of it.
Love the blue jacket/wrap over the very lovely summer dress! So gorgeous.
