GBS Recycled Fashion Show a Hit!

Here are pictures from our 1st ever Recycled, Repurposed and Reused Fashion Show! It featured designs from our Costume Design Class. It was FABULOUS!

 A tie skirt and repurposed t-shirt top.
 A red dress of recycled paws, a green dress of repurposed grain bags and a shirt of reused ribbons, buttons and fabric.

 Reused carpet foam, duct tape and grain bags.

Various reused lace curtains and netting make this ensemble.


 A feed bag makes this dress.

 Recycled paper from the trash makes a splash!

 This ensemble is all recycled clothing.

This was put together from many water bottles and duct tape.

 On the left, a party ensemble from a reused pair of jeans and a lace curtain.
The jumper is from pellet stove bags.

 Recycled tshirt, lace curtain and carpet foam make this white dress.
