Farm/Ag Art

Hi all, Some of you may remember that apart from conventional sewing, I also Make farm/Ag Art. You have to make a wearable garment (piece of Art) from things that are grown, found or manufactured on a farm. This seems to be a purely Australian, New Zealand Thing that is conducted at mainly Field Days. Some of the items I have used include, tractor parts, inner tube rubber, metal, grains, wool bale, wire etc. etc. I have always placed in the top 4 of competitions and have won national finals twice and been placed 4th in The international comps, twice, in New Zealand. I have been asked to conduct a workshop " Farm to Catwalk" on the 4th and

5th of November in Horsham Victoria, Australia. So if anyone is interested please phone 03 5381 2604 for more info. The workshops will be for children and Adults and will take sewing and costume making in a direction you may not have thought of...........Amelia

Sounds interesting. I have a quantity of 50 yr old vintage cotton feed sacks, very heavy ones. I'm thinking, aside from some heavy dishtowels, of making some hippy style hobo purses for young people. What else do you suggest I make from them? They are plain weave natural color and some have printing on them. JPBill

my dad bought me two feed sack shirts on a trip to Mexico in the early 70s. he paid a dollar each for them. i'm still wearing them. so, you could use them for functional, but slightly tacky, shirts. or, they make pretty good dish towels. messenger style bags are more popular than the hobo bags right now, at least here on the east coast.

Looks like it made it way clear around the world. Right here in Troy NY there was just recently a Trashion show.

at one time was a huge sewing town, nick named the Collar city as the removable collar was invented and produced here.Many clothing factories at one time, nothing left but a few Avante guard small shops now.
