On Friday we saw the film Kill Your Idols, the documentary on No Wave bands in New York, at the Mu Meson archives. Aspa was busy out the back. She has been working at Reverse Garbage a lot recently, and they had given her a special commission. She had to make nearly 200 bags out of old advertising banners from the Opera House. The labels for the bags had only been printed on Wednesday, so she was way behind and had to sew them over the weekend for delivery Monday.
Michelle and I are both handy with sewing machines, so we volunteered to help. I spent most of Saturday in their library sewing the things on Michelle's old machine, which is a bit rattly because of the wear from making quilts. They are just library bags, but they have quite a few seams. Aspa had already done the cutting and had edged most of the pieces on the overlocker at Reverse Garbage, but it broke down.
Jaimie raised an intriguing possibility. The bags might be for the army of housewives Oprah is bringing to Sydney sometime soon. There's about 200 of them I believe. Possibly the opera house wants to give them a bag of goodies in a yew-beaut green recycled banner bag? Not that that's a bad thing, it gets the name of Reverse Garbage out there.
