Clothes Swap for Haiti

Join Re-Dress (and hopefully me) at the Clothes Swap for Haiti this Sunday, March 7. It’s a great cause and a great way to do a little spring cleaning. I might bring some of my favourite duds that no longer fit my 19week belly! Be sure to bring some cash for a donation. Free entry. Boys and Girls clothes welcome. Read more about Re-dress

I’m super excited to attend the latest Re-dress event, French Knickers and Cocktails. The name says it all–next Tuesday fabulous needle wielding ladies will descend on a Dublin bar to mix, mingle and make some frilly underthings.

I didn’t even know you could make undies. If you’re going too, let me know! I’m looking forward to meeting other lovely Dublin ladies.

Crafternoon Tea

My first fashion sketch!

On Saturday I attended the fabulous Crafternoon Tea hosted by Re-Dress, Ireland’s ethical fashion extraordinaires. The day brought together 25 20-something gals with an interest in fashion and DIY. I’ve never had a more delightful Saturday!

We started off the day learning fashion sketching, then moved on to drafting patterns and how to fit patterns to size. After a yummy lunch provided by the Smock Alley Cafe we learned basic stitches and how to upcycle our old tired clothes.

For me, the day gave me a huge confidence boost in my sewing and style abilities. So watch out for my attempts at DIY fashion! I’ve already taken out all the stitches in one of my husband’s shirts in an attempt to turn it into a skirt (he’s thrilled!)

Thanks Re-Dress! Looking forward to more events Crafternoon Teas!
