Souvenir Sewing

We love travel in the Caribbean, so when we got the opportunity to go to St. Lucia, we were thrilled.  Even when they had a horrible hurricane/mud slide/flooding event that got us to take hep shots two weeks before our trip, we were not daunted.  And, it turned out to be a fun trip with interesting things to see and people to meet.


So, recently, I read in a magazine, a clever idea for all those tshirts that come back from trips.  Turn them into pillows, it said, so I did.  And, I used Jacquard's juicy tea markers to stencil on the date of our trip.  (Thanks, Diane Ericsson for the marker suggestion)


i even managed to make up the cotton batik I got from St. Lucia's local batik making place into Sewing 
Workshop's sienna pattern shirt.  Think I'll pack that on my next Caribbean trip coming up soon to St John, USVI
