Garage Sale Trail

Raggedy Ann 1930s sundress - before

Have you heard about this huge annual sustainability event, organised by the clever people at City of Sydney and local councils across Australia?

This Saturday 5 May’s Garage Sale Trail is looking to be massive, with ambassadors Marnie Skillings and Liane Rossler (Dinosaur Designs) on board, and sales all over the city at Cloth Fabric, The Society Inc. etc. Let’s hope the gorgeous weather holds out for some enthusiastic bargain-hunting. For some excellent guerilla garage sale shopping tips, click here.

I’ll be doing a workshop at the Sydney Antique Centre from 2-4pm this Saturday on how to upcycle vintage & secondhand clothes. There’s a few spots left if you’re keen to sign up, and I’ll be posting some images here on the blog soon so you can see some of the transformations we made to tired & damaged pieces.

... and after

    Do you ever hold workshops in Perth? Go on! You’d love it here! :)

    I’d love to, Nikki – just have to convince a bookseller to get me over there… let me look into it! x

    If I lived in Sydney (instead of rural Queensland!) I would’ve loved to have gone to your workshop! I look forward to seeing pictures of the transformations, anyway :)
