A Week of Epic Efforts

Dress made by Cindy from Bug and Pop. Design based on ‘Lemon Spaghetti’ by Dawn Tan. Printed by Frankie and Swiss.

I know someone who stayed up until 1 o’clock in the morning to finish off sewing a little girls dress, and some monkey pants and a bib (more on this later). This was after a full days work. In the evenings prior to this (again after a full days work), she sewed up a beautiful dress. This is Cindy from Bug and Pop. I also know a very talented artist, Dawn Tan, an amazing person in general, who has been super enthusiastic about experimenting with her artwork in textile format. The result of our little 3 leaf clover collaboration is this mega unreal dress. That mannequin will not be wearing it for long, Cindy, Dawn and I are going to have to draw straws!

On Saturday, Frankie and Swiss hosted the Creative Womens Circle and it was amazing! (besides our new ebay vintage couch falling apart!). It was the biggest event I’ve held since my 21st and if it weren’t for the absolutely epic efforts of some amazing women who gave up their time to help me, I don’t know that it would have been!

Tonight I thank Cindy and Dawn. 

Every night this week, I shall thank all of the amazing women who helped and show their amazing work to everyone!!! 

Cheerio until tomorrow :)
