Make do & Mend...Summer Vintage FUN!

Our love of craft,vintage and fashion have spurred us on into hosting another "Make do & mend" inspired event.
We love the ethos,the original war time up-cycling and recycling movement born out of need. Times are tough and though 70 years on this movement is making a return and we're hoping to share a few nifty tricks with you so you can save some cash and a few frocks on the way.

Craft Guerrilla have created a few vintage "Make do & mend" inspired craft packs for you to buy and make on the night plus the lovely Theo (of the Shellac Sisters and a genius knitter) will be hosting the mini workshop for us. Make a cute knitted button hole corsage to wear with your vintage finds. Details tba soon!

Joining us is Frill Seekers Vintage with their beautiful wares...from the roaring 1920's to the electric 1980's...rails upon rails of quality vintage apparel!
It's the perfect way to recycle as these frocks have still a whole life of ware to give!

And to finish off the look the talented Claire Cross of Claire Hair will be transforming your locks into gorgeous vintage dos. No need to book just pop in and make an appointment on the night!

Make Do & Mend...

Due to popular demand next month's diy craft night will be another Vintage inspired affair...And we're sooooo happy about it because we LOVED hosting it!!!

Make Do & Mend is so much of the moment and we're ready to share our crafty know how and teach all you lovely people how to look stylish without breaking the bank.
These are lean times and we know just how difficult it is to get by...but fear not...we'll be there with a few craft kits which you can make and will make your outfit that little bit cuter or cover up a hole on that favourite shirt so you're mending that garment and giving it new life!

And just because times are tough it doesn't mean that you can't invest in a killer frock!
Look through "Frillseekers" stunning clothing and bag yourself a beautiful dress which you can wear time and time again!

Claire Hair will also be there styling those lush locks so you get a new look to go with your new frock!

Also we have a very special guest work shop tutor...lets just say that she's a dab hand at knitting and spinning shellac! Details of work shop to be announced soon.

Plus we might be joined by some very special people or should that be "des gens très importants...Célébrités"?

AWESOME!!!
