Cape Goddess

A little while ago John alerted me to a really sweet message for me on myspace. It was from a fabulous Brisbane girl called Leecee and 'twas an offer to make yours truly a cape! Some wearable art!

We met one rainy night for late Turkish delight & the biggest coffee you've ever seen (seriously it was served in a bowl!) and Leecee pulled out some delicate sketches she made, which were bursting with colour and energy.

The most interesting part for me was that Leecee was not a fashion student, nor designer, just a regular girl who wanted a project, a challenge. She admitted to having very limited sewing skills, though I could tell by her enthusiam that this was not going to be a problem! I was so inspired after our first meeting. It shows a great amount of courage to go out of your comfort zone and challenge yourself.

Last week Leecee sent me an email brimming with excitement - yes the cape was complete! My god it's glorious!









A testament that you can do it, if you put your ass into it.
