#MeMadeMay Week 2: Tunic Rehabs

These items are NOT from Repair/Repurpose Mountain.
Instead, it was adding a tiny bit of hand sewing that made me love them all over again.

First, the green stripe rayon tunic.
It kept sliding off my shoulders and driving me batty.
The problem? Neck hole too wide!
A simple 2" in at the shoulder on both sides and my sanity was restored.

"This tunic matches my eyes. Yes, I'll pose with it."

Next, the Japanese kimono textile:

I'm "backstage" at the Palm Desert Civic Center Amphitheater.
Severo had a gig with The Pettybreakers. It was 106ºF.
I found this a good print for disguising spilled guacamole.
Write up on the Glutton blog soon.

And last, the BOOM! tunic, which I tolerated at work in order to be extra festive for the Otis Senior Exhibition after work.

The Chico's ombre dot scarf, acquired last year, pairs perfectly with the tunic.

At Otis. Couldn't figure out the student who created this mirror piece.

Oh yeah, DOTS!

Downtown with Peggy Noland

Ruth and I rendezvoused at BOLD LA in downtown LA to attend a Savoir Collab featuring the creative force Peggy Noland.

We were a photographers' delight, but I have yet to see any images of us.
Isn't Ruth's hat AMAZING?

Peggy is wearing one of her own creations.

Harmonie's discussion with Peggy was fascinating. Peggy started out in Kansas City, MO with the storefront Peggy Noland. She has made a second home in LA and has opened the shop, Wacky Wacko, in Echo Park.
Ruth and I will be making a field trip there soon! It's located at 1361 Sunset Blvd.

I sketched the event:

The audience was a fun, eclectic bunch:

Savoir Collab's mission [pulled from their website]:

Starting this year, we will be hosting monthly events centered around empowering women through sharing our intentions, mindfulness leadership, health & wellness, stand up & speak, and harnessing the beauty of collaboration. In 2017, now more than ever, it is important for us to come together and elevate our voices. These events will be intimate, invite only gatherings of female professionals, trailblazers, and influencers in Los Angeles.
