Pockettree at Fashion Reloaded garments go to Auction ...

Above: 'So last season' by pockettree.

This title goes back afew years now Cara & I were brainstorming and came up with it whilst enjoying a break in the studio, and before the auction I thought yep this title was made for today and the masses were into it! So Last Season is also the name of my upside-down range and today I found out there is a Scandinavian label with the same name of cause it's a great phrase. After the event I thought I'd check them out and they have a very similar garment as you see above, there's is a polished design all beautiful typical of scandianvian design - smick made with new fabrics not like my version made whilst we had 30min heats to whip up clothes from the old threads piled in the room.

I just love that ideas are not about the individual anymore, this event was suported by Creative Commons and one desig label has open source patterns of their garments nice!

I can't help myself, yes searching for mannequin photos again, boy do they have fun.

Now is the time to refashion shrinkie dinks ... can they jazz up this fabric?

Shrinkie dinks mixed with my latest T sounds fun or is it outright bad? Either way I have been meaning to tryout shrinkie dinks for years but not with chip packets like we did in the 80's this time it's the plastic bag & mesh sacks who will payup.

I have been using the plastic sacks from fruit and veg in numerous ways and want to print through them next but for now let's try ironing them, here is what booted me into action thanks to Treches a designer taking part in the Fashion Reloaded event in Berlin 4th July.

Oh what a dandy time for a tee.

Dandelion clocks blowing in the wind at the beginning of Summer, make a wish as you blow, or tell the time by the number it takes to scatter the seeds. This 'Dandy Time' Tee prototype sewn on a new organic Fruit of the loom tee is heading south for my Mum who has long since been a believer in useful weeds and herbal treats.

Löwanzahn is the German name for Dandelion haven't managed to find it in the 12 mths living in Berlin, and just the other week a lovely friend brought me some from Switzerland it tastes like licorice sweet and honey coloured decoction.

Shown above, Dandy Time 2009. Thanks Cara xx, oh how did I miss the daylight when it's light until 10pm!
