Kirsten wins at Ecofest

I entered a wearable arts competition with some friends Shikylah and Emma. We created a black and white zip dress, which we got our idea from Smiggle pencil cases. We recycled the zips from 6 sleeping bags and sewed them together onto our dress, this took us 7 weeks in total to make. Last Saturday we took the dress to Trafalgar Square to model it at Ecofest. We won a trophy for the people's choice award in funky fashion, out of 48 other entries. We are very proud of our work and wish to enter again next year. By Kirsten.
