Julia Stone's vintage frocks at Sew & Tell!

Yes! Brace yourself vintage fans...we have just had confirmation that much of Julia Stone's awesome collection of vintage gear will be for sale at Sew & Tell presents A Very Crafty Christmas! 

Here's what Miss Stone had to say about it. "At Sew & Tell I'm selling a handpicked selection of vintage dresses that I collected from my travels across the globe and that I've worn at a bunch of my shows. I'm thrilled to give them a new life and audience."

Julia would, of course, have loved to work the stall herself but she'll be in Sydney playing at Homebake that day, so some of her friends have stepped in to help her out. They'll be operating the stall for her.

Sew, fans of vintage frocks, clear your dairies and mark December 8 with big bold letters HIGH VOLTAGE FROCK N ROLL!

Here's a few pics to give you a taste of Julia's amazing style.

Cloud 9

One of our lovely new additions to our stallholder family, Silvia, just sent us a sneak peak of her 'Cloud Cushion's that she is making for Sew & Tell. So sweet!

Our very crafty new advert

Check out our new ad! It is super hot, yes?

We just sent this over to Pip Lincoln for her Good Stuff Guide. Can't wait to see it in there!

Crafty Christmas Tree's!

We think 2012 should be the year of coming up with super crafty Christmas concepts!

How much do you love this idea for a Christmas tree by Jane from All the Luck in the World ?

Rum Balls

For me (Gabe), Rum Balls are the taste of Christmas. I love them but I never have them at any other time of year. They are a special Christmas treat. This is my Mum's recipe...

8 Weetbix

1 tin condensed milk

2 tablespoons cocoa

1 cup mixed fruit

2 tablespoons of rum (or more if you want)

Crumble the Weetbix and mix all the other ingredients with it. Place in the fridge for about 1/2 an hour. Make into balls and roll in coconut. Keep in the fridge. 

C if for Crafty Christmas.....

Gabe and I decided over the weekend (with a belly full of delicious food from Rock and Roll cafe in Mullumbimby) that we would love to blog about all things Christmas in the lead up to Sew and Tell presents A Very Crafty Christmas. Cute ideas, recipes, things to make.....

So here's my first idea to pretty up your Christmas lunch table. I'm pretty obsessed by edible flowers at the moment. Not only do they look divine, they also taste lovely. Freeze them in ice cubes and serve with the drink of your choice (punch or scotch). Yum yum!

Sample Food Festival

Today the annual Sample Food Festival is on at the Bangalow Showgrounds. Sample showcases local food producers, restaurants and catering companies.

What an amazing event! So many delicious things - organic nuts, the famous Bangalow pork, fruits, insanely fresh and delicious looking salad vegetables, seafood, spices, coffee beans...good stuff in every direction! 

All about Sew & Tell presents A Very Crafty Christmas!

We’re back! After a super successful inaugural event earlier this year Sew & Tell will once again take over Bangalow’s beautiful A & I Hall from 9.00am to 1.30pm on Saturday 8 December.

With the original bearded hipster set to visit just a few weeks later, Sew & Tell is the place to find the perfect gift for those that have been naughty or nice!

Organisers Tory Bauer and Gabe Cramb said “We are curating this edition of Sew & Tell with the festive season in mind and everything that goes along with it. Handmade and vintage gifts are unique. They are special. You feel good giving them.”

Yes, Sew & Tell presents A Very Crafty Christmas will be jam packed with one of a kind gifts for family and friends. There will be a diverse array of crafty goods for sale including everything from handmade journals, children’s clothes and home-wares, textiles, stenciling and felting to applique, painting, jewelry, handmade cards and wrapping paper, and sew much more.

Collecting Feathers

As well as craft there will be vintage clothes, retro wares, nic nacs, records and a few additional blokey stalls to find that special something for the fellas.

Sew & Tell presents A Very Crafty Christmas will also see the return of some of the special stalls that were so popular at the first event.  Sew & Tell is not like other markets. Oh no we’re not! It’s about connecting people and getting the public involved!

UNFINISHED BUSINESS 
Do you have any craft projects that you are not likely to finish any time soon? Like that Jenny Kee style jumper you have been trying to finish since the 80’s? Why not put them up for adoption on our Unfinished Business table? Just bring them along to Sew & Tell.

All items on the unfinished business stall are free and you don’t have to return to sender. All you have to do is promise to finish them off. We’d also love it if you could post a pic of the finished item on the Sew & Tell Facebook page.

THE FREE STALL
The Free Stall was super popular at our first event and spread masses of goodwill around so we’re doing it again. Bring along any items that you’d like to donate - fruit, vegetables, herbs, chilli's, wool, threads, badges, crafty items etc.

Anyone can donate to the free stall. You just need to bring the donated item along to Sew & Tell and put it on the stall. Anyone can take these items, but if you do we encourage you to perform a random act of kindness for someone at some stage during the day – like buy a coffee for the person behind you.

THE MAN CAVE
Yes! The Man Cave is back! This is a space for the fellas to respite from the craft and vintage worship taking place in the rest of the hall. There'll be comfy seating and magazines to read.

Sew! We’ll be back soon with more info about our stalls and other crafty stuff. In the mean time check your cupboards for “Unfinished Business” and items for the Free Stall and most importantly…mark December 8 in your diary!
