Often you hear that people have found their niche, I guess I'm not one of those people, not yet anyway. I like to sew a variety of styles and themes, otherwise I think I might get a little bored. Another aspect of creating a variety is the exposure to other ideas, fabrics and even history.
On facebook there are lots of like minded creatives, and one way of getting our "wares" out to a wider audience is to enter a showcase. A showcase is kind of like a market but online and run via a facebook page like CharlyE
There is often a theme and this one is Rockabilly. Now I don't know much about Rockabilly, but have done a little research and came across this interesting article Rockabilly clothing which talks about the styles back in the 1950s and the precursor for what Rockabilly is today.
So the items I decided on for this particular showcase are as follows:
The Elvis Cushion Cover
The Headscarf
Cherry Dress for a child - using a vintage pattern
Selection of Fabric Hair Bows
Thats my take on Rockabilly, like I said I don't know that much about it but I know more than when I started.
Loving the Elvis and the bows! Great work Jenny
