Karklu fashion show

Tonight we had a faculty/staff/alumni Celebratory Night as the culmination of the 20th anniversary weekend. Student Life was in charge of the Karklu fashion show part of the evening. Karklu is a dorm that has been used for the past 15+ years, but is now very run down - hence the building of Enns Hall. The curtains in Karklu were all made of the same fabric, and in order to create nostalgia for those who lived there, we along with a seamstress school and many hours of creative volunteers, created a collection of items made out of the curtain fabric. Everything from headbands, rain boots, picnic blankets, jewelery and graduation caps were among the items sold at the auction. I modeled a headband, bracelet and backpack, as well as a bedcover, pillow and stuffed animal.It was a fun way to use up the fabric!

 We had so many items made out of the curtains, that we had a whole table full of things for sale after the auction. Here Olena is modeling a headband and holding a stuffed animal.
