A rare selfie

 

Very pleased with my new SuziBJ original – a hand stitched, walnut-dyed vintage silk tunic and purple handmade brooch. The black dress was from Sunday’s clothes swap. Score x 3!

My lovely models in the fashion parade today. It was so hectic I was lucky to even get these photos!

Ready for a full-on two days!

A pity I can’t share the aroma!

 
In the gallery today – flowers from the garden.

How to be sustainable

 

1. Have friends who find old mannequins at the dump (2 found so far).
2. Discover some fabric in a local charity shop.
3. Eco dye some vintage silk.
4. Then use a vintage pattern for the skirt and a minimal waste pattern (Shape Shape 2) for the vest!
