Opotiki Fibre & Fleece Fashion Awards July 2010

The fashion show was held in Opotiki  9th- 11th July. I was very excited to win both the Wool, Knit, Crochet Award and the Fashion in Felt Award.

My knit entry entitled "Out of Africa' was a  merino fitted dress with felt trim and a knitted merino coat with appliqued felt pieces from african print fabric.

 My 'Fashion in Felt' entry was entitled 'Cut it Out' and was a fine felt dress with a pleated shrug. Felted in merino and silk.

The NZ Machine Knitters Festival was held in Stratford at the beginning of July. I was delighted to have won 2nd and 3rd places in the Supreme Fashion Award.

2nd was a bridal gown called 'Aphrodite' and was  knitted in tencil.  3rd place went to 'Autumn Harvest' knitted, felted and stitched using a solvy technique.

NEW

Felted scarves, wraps, vests and jackets. These are individually handcrafted so each piece is unique.  A felted scarf or wrap may be all that is required to update your winter wardrobe.

JEWELLERY

I have had fun making new fabric bead necklaces and crocheted jewellery pieces for the winter.
Check out the new beaded mini frame pendants.

I have also added delightful paua necklaces to the range. The paua pieces are light weight and crocheted with excellent new wire in an exciting colour range from the UK. Easy to wear and make a wonderful gift.
