Our First Fabric Festival – It’s a very ROYAL occasion 👑👑
I would like to formally invite you to our first-ever Fabric Festival! Being the King’s Birthday weekend, the theme is ROYAL CELEBRATION🫅
It also happens to coincide with 10 years of Loom fabrics so there will be a bit of a party 🎉
The outline of the Festival:
June 9 and 10: Instore at 242 Bong Bong St – the last opportunity to visit the store before we move everything out.
It will be held 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 🤩
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 🤪

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.
