Maker Faire Bay Area 2008
Remaking recycled materials and old clothes into new

Location:   Expo Orange   

I will demonstrate at least 30 different ways to take articles of clothing commonly found in most women's closets (i.e. t-shirts, tank tops, socks, pantyhose, sweaters, maps) and household items and show how to remake them into new clothing styles and Halloween costumes. I've written a book called "Just for the Frill of It" on the subject but the clothes for this will not be all from the book. There will be a bunch of Halloween costumes, as well, that people can make themselves.
