Spring Fling 2012

The ASG Atlanta chapter held their annual Spring Fling event yesterday and as usual, the Sew Incredibles group was well represented. The theme of the event was International Cultures and each group was asked to decorate a table according to the customs/traditions of a country of their choosing. Our country was Japan. Here are a few shots of our table decorations:

Jan G's dress was modeled by Sandie. It was made of all Liberty of London fabric purchased from fabric.com - the design was inspired by the British flag. What a creative and wonderful dress!
