Restash 2018 : Melboune Fabric Swap Event
For those feeling a little overwhelmed or underwhelmed by the state of their stash, we invite you to join us at the third annual Restash 2018 (Melbourne).
What is a Restash? It’s a fabric, notions, yarn and pattern swap… the chance for people to give-away items that they no longer have a need for (destash) and for fellow crafters to take home items that inspire (restash). This is a free event, but we do ask that you bring at least one item to swap.
DATE: Saturday February 24th
TIME: 2pm – 4pm
LOCATION: Fairfield Community Room (opposite Fairfield Library – 121 Station Street, Fairfield)
Bring your unwanted fabric, notions, yarn and patterns. Can you please bundle fabric and label with type (if known) and meterage (width and length). We will have a section just for fabric scraps (hooray!). Fabric scraps will need to be at least 30cm x 30cm and will not require bundling or labelling.
Browse while chatting with fellow crafters.
Rehome anything that takes your fancy. At the conclusion of the day, excess items will be donated to charity.
And those who want to make a day of it, there are several nearby sewing retailers…
Cutting Cloth – 282 Wingrove Street, Fairfield (walking distance from the Restash venue)
GJs Discount Fabric – 31 Steane Street, Fairfield
The Cloth Shop – 47 Lower Heidelberg Road, Ivanhoe
Darn Cheap Fabrics – 115 Burgundy Street, Heidelberg
Such a great idea! Wish I could participate!
I wish you could too Sarah Jo
Will try to get there. It’s my social sewing day 😚
It would be good to see you, but I understand that you already have another commitment.
Oh yay! I’m 99% sure I can make this one, too. Looking forward to it 🙂
It will be good to see you again Mel.
Great idea. Intend to attend.
That’s great new Heather. Thanks for letting me know.
Awseome- I had a lovely time at the first one, but was unwell last year and just could not get there! I have already donated the fabrics I had ready to take last year, but should be able to find some more in the stash for this year. Will put it on my calendar!
It will be great to see you again Dianne. Just one piece… don’t raid the stash too much.
Awesome idea. Just saw Diane’s post not sure if I have time today
