Kris HowardHad an absolutely fabulous time presenting a “Super Session” at the #AWS Summit in Sydney yesterday featuring my friends Stephen and Adrian. Also got to show off the #awsdressv2 and sneakers, and host a meetup for our community members. ❤️👗
Managed to piece together enough #awsdressv2 scraps to whip up a shirt! This is the Arkie top from Tessuti. I left off the pockets and used some white cotton for the facing. Cute and ready for re:Invent! #awsshirt
#frocktober Day 4: It’s super humid in Singapore so today you get a hotel room selfie. I went for thematic with my self-made palm frond Seamwork Benning (the pilot for the #awsdressv2). Today’s fact is that if ovarian cancer is detected in the earliest stages, a 90% chance of survival is possible - that’s why the OCRF are funding projects for early detection tests.

I'm Frocking Up to raise funds for Australia's most lethal gynaecological cancer - ovarian cancer. The five-year survival rate for ovarian cancer in Australia is just 49%, meaning those diagnosed get less than half a chance of surviving five years from their diagnosis. I want to help change the statistics and give those diagnosed with ovarian cancer a greater chance of survival. Research is the answer. Please help me support the vital work of the Ovarian Cancer Research Foundation (OCRF), and the dedicated researchers they fund, by making a donation to my page. Every dollar counts!
I performed the sartorial equivalent of keyhole surgery tonight, but I’m very happy to report that the AWS dress v2 is complete! Now, where to unveil.. .? 🤔👗 #awsdressv2
Turns out there is a fine line between “loose, floaty ruffle dress” and “parachute-like Victorian nightgown”. And that grey space, my friends, is where I live. #awsdressv2 #sewing #sneakpeek #definitelychoppingit 👗🪡🧵
Did a test run of #seamworkbenning today with some random stash cotton. I lined the top (since it’s a bit sheer), then had to get creative with adding panels to (and shortening) the skirt due to fabric constraints. Hmm. It’s a bit shapeless, but a belt helps. Definitely some fitting issues to address before I do the real one! #awsdressv2 🧵🪡👗
Ugh. Made a massive error cutting out my test dress last night. (At least I was smart enough not to do it on the real fabric!) “Self, you’re clearly tired and you should sleep on it before you do anything else.” I then proceeded to go to bed and stay up for 5 hrs brainstorming ways to fix it. 😩 #sewing #zombie #awsdressv2 🧵🪡👗
My custom #AWS fabric from #Spoonflower turned out even better than I expected! Next step: pattern research while I wait for my #sewing machine to arrive… #awsdressv2 👗
