Karen Yaremkewich was one of our recent Private View artists. She works under the name Upcycled Designs, and is known for taking gently used clothing and redesigning them into new pieces. If you saw her work in the store, you would have noticed her fantastical cloaks and jackets, made with an Alice in Wonderland theme. There are also small felt mustaches and burlap boo’ banners suitable for Hallowe’en and Movember. But this Saturday will have a completely different appeal. Karen will be giving a demo on how to turn a outdated wedding dress into an elegant cocktail dress, with plenty of time to inspire you for the upcoming holiday season. Cutting and reconfiguring is met with embellishing and trimming to make her beautifully detailed frocks! Come by and say hello, she will be in the window from 11 to 4!
