chenille dresses |
Spring in Melbourne means school fete season. I love the community spirit and the thousands of hours of work done by parents all across town to put these days together. I don't love the fact that the money raised is so desperately needed by our schools to fund essentials, such as our school music program.

Someone donated some old chenille bedspreads to the craft group, and they found their way to me to be turned into toys and clothing.

Although chenille is apparently french for caterpillar, it seems such an Australian word to me.
I think my (heretofore unknown) desire to work with chenille has well and truly expired. I hope attendees at the fete have not similarly exhausted their desire for all things chenille. Is it all a bit 90's or is there still an appetite for clothing that makes you look like a colourful woolly mammoth?
you have done a fantastic job with these!
