Well. I mean well. I know I promised to tell you guys all about my Fringe event but then I never did. This is partly because I have been asked to write about it for a popular sewing magazine (who me? Couldn’t be!) and I didn’t want spoilers. But I have posted the high points and a photo essay over on the Australian Sewing Guild (ASG) blog. I recommend heading over there for a look right after you read this. But I am taking you way back to the Fringe Launch. You know how we made the bunting? If you have no idea or you’d like the tutorial, here’s the post.
The fab Fringe staff also asked the ASG to make some funky headscarves too. They wanted something the ladies could put in hair and the boyo’s could wear around the neck. It would help people work out who was who, scarf = staff/volunteer. The amazing Plympton ladies had 70 scarves to me in 3 days! How’s that for quick! Everyone sewed their stash so there was a huge variety of print and pattern. One of our members, Sandra, printed the ASG logo onto fabric (she used this stuff) and ironed it on to vlisoflex (double sided, sticky iron on stuff). That meant we could iron on little ASG logos to each scarf (that was my job).

If you put a firm but malleable wire (like florists wire) in the centre, you can just twist the tie on itself to make a faux-bow and it wont slip off!
That’s a fab idea!
