I have just come back from a wonderful weeks holiday in the little village of Rhodes in the Eastern Cape with some fabulous friends.
I saw quite a bit of shwe shwe wearing in the village, but only managed to get some photos of the ladies at a community enhancement felting and sewing project called 'The Red Barn'.
Two of the women sewing lovely woolen scarves outside the barn in the sun had red shwe shwe skirts on. The scarves were being constructed with such lovely local wool, I almost expected to see some of the sheep in in the fields in town at the end of their balls of wool.
Outside of Rhodes is another sewing project that several women within the area contribute to. They had several quilts (that would be better suited to outdoor picnic blankets I think), one of them had many red shwe shwe inserts.
