Did it Again!

We had another gathering of like minds, creating

Change of Heart Skirts.

I love the different fabrics and ideas that arrive for these 2 day workshops.

I can't believe that one pattern can inspire such diversity - but it does!

Big plans a foot and for fear of jinxing myself all I'll say at this stage is - wish I'd taken more notice in art class when Ms McDonald was showing us how to draw.

Oh & don't forget to come on board for the Give Away.

The 1st Change of Heart Workshop in the World!

I like firsts.

Not the winning type of firsts but the ones where nothing else is the same 

and these are the girls that get the - oh, I don't know...sticker (gold sticker!) - for being the first to attend the first ever (in the world), Change of Heart Skirt Workshop!

Save your applause 

until you see what they created...

 

Bronwyn created her own unique look by combining printed cottons with fine pinwale corduroy

  and added a splash of vintage lace & a little bit of applique to tie it all in.

 

 SuAann opted for all printed cottons

  

 

 and highlighted each change with a strategically placed floral applique.

In the end Nadene chose to keep her skirt simple by combining a textured cotton/linen blend fabric with a stylised floral cotton.

 Merediths challenge was to get it perfect (believe me you want her performing your heart surgery) - which she achieved the last night and in time to wear the next day for her birthday.

Here's a hint of what to expect when I get the opportunity to take a full length shot.

 Japanese cotton and vintage lace embellished with free machine embroidered highlights.

Now you can clap!

There's 2 spots left in the next one.

Creative Pod - 'Change of Heart' Skirt & latest REinvention

My latest offering at the Studio by way of workshop is the 

Change of Heart Skirt

It's a funky little number, in that it's 2 skirts in one.

When you get sick of one look you simply turn it round to

reveal a completely new look!

I've been wanting to offer my Learn to Sewers another interesting project that would stretch them and this is ideal because it introduces zips in garments, darts, buttonholes & a little hand sewing.

You don't have to be a novice to want to create this skirt all you require is a desire to wear it.

I'm wearing it here with my latest REinvention - two t-shirts that were too tight are now one that's not quite as tight!
