Sweet Fabric [Search results for events] 

HAC by kootoyoo on Polyvore.com

As is the way with these types of events, I've had a couple of people withdraw for various reasons.

I've got three places available for the session that will be run on Saturday 18 July from 1-5pm.

We're meeting in Balwyn to make the multi tasker pictured above.

The multi tasker is a book like crafting tool:

-When open & flat the outside cover acts as an ironing board
-The inside front cover is sandpaper to assist with tracing onto fabric
-The inside back cover is the cutting mat
& the middle "page" is a leatherette which protects table surfaces from scratching & also has a felt like surface which "grabs" the fabric to assist with piecing.

You can purchase a very similar item commercially for around $75.

We will be constructing the multi tasker from largely recycled materials (obviously the cutting mat & the sandpaper are new).

The cost for the session is $50 which includes all materials and something to eat & drink.

If you'd like to join us please visit the HAC shop here.

You've gotta love a Christmas cracker. Tacky trinkets, dorky hats & bad jokes read out by drunk, dodgy relatives.

We are lucky. We don't have to get together with any undesirables on Christmas day.

I do get a good giggle out of the stories told by my brother & his gorgeous wife about some of the goings on at their Christmas events. I kind of wish I had a few stories of my own...

The wedding on Saturday was a real group effort.

Friends of the bride & groom shared their talents and helped out with cake decorating, invitations, photography & personalised chocolates as place settings!

I had a hand in the centrepieces for the tables. They looked beautiful and created a lovely romantic ambient glow. These are just perfect if you're planning a DIY wedding because they can be made well ahead of time.

The glasses were picked up for 50 cents a piece at local op shops. We chose to wrap in bamboo which had a lovely sheen & looked very pretty in the daylight.

Obviously these can be used and reused for different events & as either tealights or vases.

Perfect for your holiday table too.
