Workshops

Op Shopping ...You love it or you hate it. I know many people who find the whole thing way too confronting- the musty old person smell, the racks and racks of old clothing. Where is the boutique lighting! The preppy shop assistant! And why isn't their one of these cardigans in my size?! 


Well I was recently chatting away to a group of friends when this topic came up. One lady explained that she is totaly envious of people who nonchalantly dismiss their fabulous frock as a vintage find which cost them next to nothing. So the idea was born:  An op-shop treasure hunt experience with me to guide the way. Then the ideas kept rolling.

My thoughts so far are:

Treasure hunt: the insiders guide to op-shopping
Refashion: 
       Jackets: Learn how to create a one off signature jacket for yourself
        Dress refashion : transform a recycled moo-moo to a fabulous spring frock 
Fashion lovers weekend experience:
        Includes 1/2 day thrift store treasure hunt,
        1/2 Day illustration & how to refashion tutorial
        Your own set of fashion croquis to sketch your ideas
         Full day sewing & how to lesson to create your new garments
                
Let me know your thoughts!
