Tightrope Walking in a Trapeze Swock while making Obi Belts from Mens Ties

'MakeOver Monday' 
... sharing how I cut up & REmake items from my wardrobe 
in the hope you'll pick up scissors & start cutting up yours!

I like my new job description
 nearly as much as I love my new
Trapeze Swock
named in part because the sleeves came from a Cirque de Soleil t-shirt top

and the full circle skirt I attached to the other t-shirt top

is as big as a tent

my clothes are my tools of trade
and where some items from my wardrobe are best suited to lounging on the couch

this particular Swock was perfect for the 'tightrope walking' I did last week

when I conducted a REinventing workshop 
with a group of Yr11 ATAR Fashion students

and had the opportunity to share my REinventing story

while showcasing some of my REinventions
explaining the techniques I use

before the girls launched themselves into transforming 
mens ties into Obi Belts 

and considering they'd never machine embroidered before
and I'd never conducted a REinventing fashion talk exclusively to teens before
we all came away richer for the experience
and I for one am looking forward to doing it again.

Joining in the Linky fun over here.
