Last week in the muggy crazy hot weather it was Summer School! 13 girls from various schools in Herefordshire joined the recycling clothing and textiles class and although it was a hard week we had a lot of fun! The best bit for me was their faces as they turned their projects 'right side out' and revealed their designs! They couldn't believe that what they had made, magic!
Here are a few piccies:
by the way please excuse some of the scary beaten up mannequins the blue one was fished out of a skip for the day!
Above is Katherines tshirt dress. This used to be a plain vest top and a summer dress.
This brightly coloured lovely is a puffball skirt (not displayed very well, mannequin was was too short) and a coursage top. Harriet made this from a curtain and lots of scraps! There is even a piece of jigsaw in there somewhere...
This is a close up of all the coursages.
This cheerful pegbag was made using an old tea towel and other scraps!
Above is India's revamped headband into a rather eye-catching headpiece.
This is Bianca's tribute to Michael Jackson. Made from some old pinstripe trousers and various glittery strips from a dress...oh and not forgetting the shocking orange silky fabric!
And this is Kayleighs masterpiece, made from some leopard print fabric, a PVC-esk belt and a beaded necklace.
These are just a few of the lovely items made by the girls. Such good use of all these wasted clothes and accessories! I think they all look marvellous! Clever old sticks xxxx
