If you haven’t recov­ered from Craft2.0 last week­end, make sure you do by Sat­ur­day becuase it’s Fab­ric-a-brac time again.

The event is being held at St Anne’s Hall in New­town on Sat­ur­day 19 June from 9am – 12noon. It’s all put togeth­er by the amaz­ing Josie who who describes Fab­ric-a-brac as  “bring­ing togeth­er fab­ric-lovers, who have too much fab­ric, with oth­ers look­ing for a unique bar­gain”.

Fab­ric-a-brac is a dream won­der­land of awe­some for crafters, sew­ers, and mak­ers. It’s full of fab­ric, but­tons, notions, sup­plies and any­thing your crafty heart can dream of.

There are some excit­ing new stall­hold­ers at Fab­ric-a-brac, includ­ing:

  • Stitch­bird fab­rics, who right now is run­ning a mar­velous auc­tion to raise funds for Mary Pot­ter Hos­pice over on her blog.
  • Absolute Sewing are com­ing to the res­cue of all crafters with blunt scis­sors, which is most of us. They are offer­ing scis­sor sharp­en­ing, and since Fab­ric-a-brac is not NZ Cus­toms, you can bring your scis­sors alsong to the fair for sharp­en­ing.

If that does­n’t bring joy to your life, next week­end is Knack Craft Fair. They’ve got a new venue as well, Welling­ton South Inter­me­di­ate Hall. But more on all things Knack next week.
