new camera time

Here are some pictures of our african things we are making for Christina

- the first is a vest ,simple, no lining just darts in the back and two D-rings.
This one is woolly fabric made with a low front neckline and loose square armholes

This is a dress made from a bed spread .Not all the fabric is authentic African ,

there is also a mix of fabrics from her op shop collection

This is another unlined vest. In a smaller size and different fabric

This is a copy of Amy's -Prom at the Prom- dress in an amazing African fabric.

Cant quite see the pattern but the large shapes are snails.

There is also purple tulle underneath

The lovely Amy is here hard at work sewing for Christina.

We have been to Noble Park to see the shop. It was not very big .The room, in the middle of a coat of paint.
There are three or four African tailors ready to move in as well to help share the rent .They have a differnt style to Christina.

I think they do a mail order to Africa.
With a pattern and colour of fabric chosen from a poster..
