LITTLE GREEN DRESSES

I have one more tidbit for you, regarding our trip to Stitch Lab. While we were wandering around the classroom, I noticed an interesting looking book lying on the cutting table. I asked the girl

seated next to it if it belonged to her, and she said "No, it's hers," pointing to the instructor in the pink plaid dress. "She wrote it!"

The book in question is called Little Green Dresses, and the author is Ms. Tina Sparkles, a member of the Austin Craft Mafia. Take note of that name. I have a feeling you'll be hearing more of it.

The book in question is not about wearing the color green, it's about refashioning fresh new items from already existing materials. In addition, it teaches you some basic sewing skills, and how to draft your own custom-fitted patterns. If you have a hankering for a truly unique wardrobe that makes a powerful statement, go here to find out more about Tina's book, or to reserve your copy. And FYI, this is a totally unsolicited appraisal. No freebies were received in return for these comments. All I got was a quick flip through the book as we were wandering through the shop, but it was enough to leave me wanting to know more about this book, and about this very talented young lady.

P.S. Be sure to check her website for photos of the dresses she made for the AMOA fashion show. I adore the one she crafted from a wad of computer wire!
