I had great success with the cork vest last year and Drew agreed to model again, so I made another. Constructed of newspaper and 6 lb coffee bags, it's entitled 'Morning Routine'. Thanks to BVW and LH for your Costco stops that yielded the bags- they are great to work with.
After a few months of tense discussion with Maz about whether we should continue to watch movies on VHS, I took a big leap. I sacrificed a copy of 'GoldenEye' to make this dress, 'Rewind'.

Rewind in progress.
For the silent auction, I spent some quality time with my inherited serger to make some fingerless gloves/handwarmers from retired sweaters.
My friend Jenny created two amazing dresses. 'Hammer Time' modeled by our friend, Linsey, was made from a recycled tank dress and rusty nails handsewn to the dress. Very couture.
'Hot Topic was a strapless dress with a princess neckline and a pleated skirt constructed from local newspapers.
Another favorite was this dress was made of plastic grocery bags with a ruffle front. It was gorgeous!
At the end of the night, votes were counted and I won my first trophy- Trashionista of the Year! I was so thrilled and now it occupies a special place on my cutting table- underneath all the fabric.

OMG the VHS fringe and the zipper, to die for!!! Of course that won first place. The dress looks amazing!!! Congrats!
That dress is AWESOME. I bow down in admiration to you.
Congrats! Although those outfits are not appropriate to wear to work, they are very creative!
