Laura's Recycling Project

Laura Mendoza is a friend of the show -- a CTA, one of the original Yahoo Group fans, a frequent blog reader and poster...In 2010, she made an outfit for the Burdastyle Pink and Red fashion show...



At our Friday Night LIVE event, Mary and I decided to give our "doorprizes" -- which were more JOKES than actual PRIZES. But, the fun thing has been that the recipients viewed them as SEWING CHALLENGES -- and we never really anticipated that!

Here's the 80's angora sweater we gave to Laura...Don't you wonder what on earth she could possibly do with THIS SWEATER??


WELL -- HERE IT IS..!! NEVER under-estimate the power of a woman who sews, people!! We are capable of just about anything. We can turn a pigs ear into a silk purse...
And this project PROVES IT..!!


ISN'T HE ADORABLE?? You made my day, Laura!! THANKS AGAIN FOR PLAYING OUR SEWING GAME. you rock...

And, once again -- it's good to be reminded that we SEW ALL YEAR LONG..!! Even though the show is only four days -- here we are, in the middle of the summer -- enjoying something Laura made that was born at the 2010 EXPO...!!

thanks again, Laura, for playing our sewing game...and I'm glad you're feeling better and back to work!!
