Madewell: Denim after Dark

 

 

I'll be at Madewell Jeans this evening embroidering from 7-9pm! It's their "Denim After Dark" event where all jeans are 20% off, drinks and snacks are served, a DJ spins, and I stitch for you at no extra charge. I may make you look at my new book, though. Yes, I will really embroider a) up to 3 initials or b) a coupla flowers. You can pick where! First come first serve! I'll only stitch for as long as the event is going! If you get there late, and I already have a huge pile going, no begging. I implore you.

Hey people! This weekend Sublime Stitching's Mary and Jessica (Jordan, are you going or does your band have a show?) will be at Make's Urban Street Bazaar (along with over 80 wonderful indie vendors) offering Sublime Stitching goodies like oh, say, the new patterns and my new book! I've been told they also plan on attending the Texas State Fair while there and I reeeally hope they don't try the deep-fried butter. You? You try embroidery. Wish I could be there!

Gettin' all Francy

 

I am going to get all Francy on you. It will be "bonjour" this and "très" that until you get annoyed with me (already annoyed? Too bad!). Alors! First things first: I am headed for Lille tomorrow (a city in the north of France) to attend Saturday night's opening of "Sur le Fil" ("On the Thread", but it's a play on words for "On the Wire" "On the Line" -you get it already) opening at Maison Folie de Wazemmes. This show is a group exhibit that includes work by Orly Cogan, Mark Newport and Sandrine Pelletier. The exhibit will travel to museums throughout France for the next year. I am très, très excited! For more info visit my uther website for exhibition info. Special thanks to my friend Françoise of Poodle Wah-Wah and Barnabé Mons for their support and hospitality! Wish you could be there- I'd love to see your beautiful, smiling face. Watch this space! There is a second exhibit opening in Paris next week that I'm in, too! Hoh la-la!

And while we're on the subject, in case you hadn't noticed, I have another blog that I keep up called Embroidery As Art. You might like it.

Swap 'n Sew Sweets!

 

There is a TON of stuff going on here in Austin this weekend with the Austin Craft Mafia's Swap 'n Sew Sweets and the Handmade Nation Austin Premiere!

WHAT: Swap and Sew + Sweets: A Clothing and Craft Supply Swap + Yummy Bake Sale + Hang Out and Craft Session

WHEN: Saturday, September 5th, 12pm-6pm

WHERE: Space 12 - 3121 e. 12th St. 78702 (space12.org)

WHY: Have fun, get crafty and support the Space 12 Community Center and the Youth Services "Sew What?" program.

HOW MUCH: $5 suggested donation

Clean out your closets and your craft supply drawers and come participate in a community swap! Bring any unwanted clothes - both adult and kids clothes welcome, and crafting supplies like fabric, thread, yarn, notions, buttons, etc. etc. Get rid of stuff you don't want and go home with new stuff that you love. Any suits or professional clothing and accessories left over at the end of the day will be donated to Dress for Success, a non-profit organization that helps disadvantaged women get dressed up for job interviews. Any crafty supplies left over will be donated to "Sew What?", a free after school sewing program for teens. Everything else will be donated to a local charity shop. If you want, you can also bring your sewing machine or knitting needles or embroidery hoops or whatever and spend the afternoon hanging out with other crafty types fixing up your swap finds, having fun and sharing ideas. It is also a great way to recycle and upcycle! In case you get hungry, we will have an assortment of amazing treats available for you to buy and snack on. Donate a can of food and your treat is free! We will use part of the $5 suggested donation and bake sale proceeds to help buy/repair sewing machines for the after-school program.
