Plastic Bags with Attitude!

We are all being encouraged to use fewer plastic bags to reduce environmental pollution. Three Year 9 friends from Burgess Hill School for Girls and St Paul's Catholic College have come up with a new use for plastic bags.

This creative team joined together and designed and createdan innovative outfit using a striking combination of black bin bags and Sainsbury's carrier bags.

The outfit will be worn at the 'Fashion Show with a Conscience' which forms part of the Lindfield Arts Festival on Saturday 15^th May.

All three girls helped in the manufacture of the outfit. TheTutu styled skirt required squares of plastic to be pushed through a piece of net and then secured with a few stitches. The hat and top were made using black bin bags and net.

Sainsbury’s carrier bags were used for the girls’ dress
