Tie Collar & Bibs

Come see what the girls created during the first ever one day

Tie Collar & Bib Workshop

They were a group meeting for the first time

and as always were best friends in the first 5mins.

l-r Sue, Charlotte, Alex & Rennae

As with any workshop I haven't conducted before

I can only run scenarios through in my head

and hope that my instincts don't let me down 

and that everyone achieves their desired outcome....

happy to report my instincts are pretty sharp.

Charlottes Collar 

was created by combining a mens tie with a frock collar, belt & pearl buttons

and this one 

from a mens cravat & tie 

with some impromptu tea dyed lace embellishing.

Rennae had fun creating her Collars with her hubbys donated ties and a couple of mine

Sues fancy Bib was created by combining a mens tie with favourite fabrics, doilies & collected buttons

and a cheeky addition right at the end.

Alex is back 

and worked on her Jigsaw Jacket 

when she wasn't taking photos of us all

 Sue brought along her Nuturing & Wellness Cakes to share

and told the story of how everytime she made & shared these cakes

a dear friend who was on the brink of death seemed to

reach another milestone on her road to recovery. 

they were beyond delicious

and knowing the story you can't help but feel nutured when eating them

and I will post the recipe once I've time

because as I type I should be packing 

for another trip south.
