Re-Dressing, again

It's been an intense couple of weeks. It's hard to get people talking. My first tactic of going FEMA trailer to FEMA trailer, didn't work too well. People thought the idea sounded good and were grateful for the offer, but were not interested in taking me up on a sewing project. So starting this week, i have staked out a site, in front of an abandoned strip mall, made a sign that says free sewing service and am going about constructing tablecloths and napkins, which i randomly leave at a FEMA trailer. I am taking pictures of each house i am leaving an item at.

Re-Dressing New Orleans

In front of a house on Venus St.

After a week of prepping the machine and getting my stuff together I hit Gentilly Terrace neighborhood seeking clients who are willing to use my services. No takers yet. The few people i spoke with seemed curious, but couldn't think of anything for me to do. so i left a flyer and moved onto the next trailer. Im sure once folks get used to seeing me ride around, they will realise im not going anywhere so they might as well take me up on my offer of free textile worker services.
