Our First Fabric Festival – It’s a very ROYAL occasion ๐๐
I would like to formally invite you to our first-ever Fabric Festival! Being the King’s Birthday weekend, the theme is ROYALย CELEBRATION๐ซ
It also happens to coincide with 10 years of Loom fabrics so there will be a bit of a party ๐
The outline of the Festival:
June 9 and 10:ย Instoreย at 242 Bong Bong St – the last opportunity to visit the store before we move everything out.
It will be heldย June 9th and 10th (Sun/Mon of the long weekend)
The rough outline so far is this:
A 2 day program of workshops showcasing a variety of Royally-themed creative sewing projects including some of the below ideas:
A wonderfully regal tweed cape
Luxurious Cashmere Wrap Lounging/Dressing Gowns
Grace Kelly styled pencil skirts and capri pants
Queen Elizabeth silk headscarves
Some fancy puffy sleeves
I’m hoping for a fabric fedora ๐คฉ
Luxurious velvet cushions fit for royalty with golden and tasselled trims
Classic Corduroy Blazers suitable for rambling through the royal countryside and driving vintage range rovers over the palace grounds ๐คช

The store will be open for regular fabric sales also during this time – you do not need a ticket to come and buy fabric but it would be really helpful to know if you are planning on coming to any of the workshops also so I know how many copies of notes etc to prepare. Because I haven’t done anything like this before it would be super helpful if you can let me know which workshops you plan on attending.
