Calling Hula Boys
& Hula Girls!
Come &
holiday at our craft paradise. You don’t need a beach: just the Hackney Attic
bar, a summery soundtrack and some fabulous workshops to take part in.
SEW GOOD
This month we’re
delighted to be joined by the fabulousy stylish sewing blogger Tilly from Tilly & The Buttons. She’ll be running an Embroidery Circle, where you can learn
the art of stitch from the queen herself. Tilly’s must-read blog celebrates
sewing, offering inspiration, practical tips and discussion to encourage more
people to have fun creating their own handmade wardrobe. Because as Tilly says:
‘Sewing is good for you!’ Tilly will show you how to embroider kitsch sea-side
motifs like cocktails, shades and bikini babes.
Like all the workshops at The
Make Escape, it’s free to take part and we’d like to say a huge THANK You to
The Village Haberdashery for donating the materials.
GLAMOUR GIRLS
The ultra cool Jo
and Karen from Use It Up Wear It Out are also special guests at the Crafttropicana and will be running one of their incredible accessories making
workshops. This is simply not to be missed! The girl’s run workshops all over
London inspiring fashionistas and creatives to upcycle – their assortment of
materials to pick from is really quite something. Don’t miss this change to meet the duo and
make your own individual piece.
COMMUNITY
CRAFTING
In a Make Escape
first we’re running a craft workshop where we need your help to make a
big scale project. This one you won’t get to take home, but you will get a
sense of pride for helping a great cause. We need your help to make bunting for
The Cally Fest. It’s an eclectic community-boutique street festival, held
on Sunday 16th of September - a chance for local businesses and people to
meet and enjoy top notch food, hear from local musicians, shop at an indie
market selling arts and crafts while celebrating the area's community spirit –
it involves local groups, charities and organisations.
To make it look
stunning The Cally Fest need 300 metres of bunting and some eager bods to help
them . They’ll be supplying the materials (including a huge stash
of yummy fabrics) and all they need is some assistance making a flag or two.
We’ll also have
our regular collage corner where you can ‘make, take & create’ whatever you
fancy and a range of stalls in our Maker’s Market where you can buy handmade
goodies direct from the people who made them.
Our Club
Tropicana takes place Tuesday 28th August from 7.30pm-10.30pm.
It’s free entry
all night, just drop by when you can and get ready for some creative action.
No experience necessary!
