Hello

Ric-Rac! Paddy Whack!

October 13, 2008


Do you know what…? I could tell you how clever Jodie is. I could tell you about how she made this beautiful dress entirely from selvedge. Selvedge sent to her from all about the place by lovely crafty kindred spirits. I could tell you about the Gargantuan amount of time she spent making this dress (I assume). And I could tell you about what a unique garment it is – all fashioned together lovingly with a wink to the scrap-crafters of yesteryear and a nod to the innovators of today.

But I won’t tell you that… because this beautiful dress has been ALL over the blogs in the last cuppla days. It’s been more viral than a strep throat… and way cuter. And it’s a safe bet that you are already making a tsking noise everytime you see this dress – in a totally GOOD tsky way. I think you’re going ‘TSK…. so lovely’ and ‘TSK … so modern’ and ‘TSK… so vintage’ and ‘TSK… so pretty’. That’s what I think.

I will tell you this:
Jodie is a wonderful, talented, diligent, creative, funny, dedicated crafter.
She how-tos with good humour and patience – both often required in the crafty world.
She continues to improve, adapt and tweak (in a good way) her crafty know-how.
She sews beautifully. She shares nicely with the other girls.
She’s just an ace chick.

Big Ups to Ric-Rac.

PS – AND she bothered to take lovely photos with a pretty girl in gorgeous light… Instead of chucking it on a hanger and going wild with urging excitement. Like I would.
