skirts and scarves

And here we are... the final day of the our Impromptu Circus Party. Kathrin, of annekata, and I enjoy ourselves so much every time we get together in real life, so it was a joy to celebrate our fun and inspiration with all of you. A special thanks to our wonderful friend (and model) Casey Benson, who will be in the spotlight next week. The circus was a playful way to introduce our shared love for one of the most accessible and versatile materials for repurposing:  the humble t-shirt.  Cotton t-shirts abundantly hang on racks in every thrift store or are piled in the back of many closets... They come in every color of the rainbow, and I'm certain  you can get your hands on some.

Juggling balls, and flaming hoops were just the beginning of the t-shirt projects.  I designed my new absolute favorite piece: it's the go to skirt for women and girls! Simple to sew, lovely and easy to wear... It can be created in any number of variations depending on how complex you want to make it and the style that fits your mood. I'll be sharing more details and fresh photos next week, when the instructions becomes available as a pdf in my shop.

Kathrin designed an amazing spiral scarf that you've seen sprinkled in photos throughout the week, as well. It can be worn in your hair, around your waist and, of course elegantly, draped around your neck. They add a little magic to every outfit, and I've been wearing one all summer long... it's the accessory I reach for every time I want  a little somethin'!  Guess what? She's holding a giveaway right now, and a lucky winner will receive not one, but three of these gorgeous scarves!  Go see... The fun doesn't seem to stop!! Have a fabulous weekend, friends!
