(though out this post will be photos of past reconstructions. click on a photo to learn more about the project)
Since we all know that one of my favorite things is reconstructing clothing, I’ve decided to commit to hosting a semi-annual Recon-a-thon. That means in January and July(or August), each year, I’ll host a Recon-A-Thon open to ANYONE that wants to participate.
I’m pleased to announce that the first Recon-A-Thon is just right around the corner and with Spoonflower as the fabulous sponsor for this contest, you can not possibly go wrong!
If you’ve never been to Spoonflower… well, first, Shame on you. Second, go there right now. They are a fabulous up-and-coming website where you can not only order some of the coolest fabrics on the net, you can also… brace yourself… upload your own designs and have them printed to high-quality fabrics for… brace yourself again… LOW prices, with NO minimums! No, I’m not kidding. Yes, I swear on my childhood-pet-goldfish’s grave. The prize for the RaT10 will be a fabulous addition to your fabric stash, from Spoonflower.
So go on, lovely readers. Go dig in your closets and grab out anything you can find that you’ve been wanting to try to recon. I’ll post all the nitty gritty details later, but for the time being, know that you can use up to 2 items from your home/thrift store/corner dumpster (i’m only kidding… sort of), so dig around and set it aside. The rest of the details are coming soon!

Hi Floozie!
Cool idea – I’ve been doing this for years – usually collect oversize items from the op shop and re-cut them for myself. I shall watch your site with interest.
Actually I’ve just set up a blog for my crafty bits and bobs..

I think I’m going to try this. It’ll be fun to see what people come up with. I think I have some old Oilily clothes I could cut down for my daughter.
I put the button on my new blog http://joybucket.wordpress.com/ (I’m in the process of moving everything over there.)
Is this contest for everybody, everywhere? I am from Indonesia, is it Ok if I participate?
Thank You
Yeah, absolutely! I’d love to see what you come up with!
I’m going to be posting details this week
