Grand Fashion Parade 2017

Southern Felters members had garments accepted for the 2017 Creative Fibre Grand Fashion Parade with two members winning awards.

Victoria Haliday received the 'Designing for young contemporary fashion award' of $500 for Skirt Flirt.  This is hand-felted merino onto what was once a cotton piece from the early 1990s.  It has been up-cycled with some of the original features still evident.


Lynette Hartley was awarded the Bernina Fashion Award of a sewing machine valued at $1699 for the nest machine constructed garment.  The merino wool felted dress, hat and gloves is called Sea Urchin and has hand-made porcelain buttons.


Sea Urchin outfit included a felted jelly fish with an LED light that changed colour
