In.cube8r

I'm sewing up a storm at the moment as I have signed up for In.cube8r, which is opening in Geelong on the 12th of October. In.cube8r is a shop space that rents out glass cubes and clothing racks to artists and makers for a weekly fee, and takes no commissions on sales. It's kind of like having a market all the time, without having to be there, they do the selling for you. I might give you a sneak peak at what I've been sewing closer to the day, I've had fun with some absolutely gorgeous fabrics. I'll be stocking the shop next Saturday, in readiness for opening day. Should be a great place to do some Christmas shopping :)

Oh how exciting! I had no idea they did that in Geelong - if I weren't doing "Buy Nothing New" month, I would be there with bells on but I don't want to be tempted!

Have fun!

You'll just have to wait until November! I might have some upcycled gear in there after Ecofest. Does that count as a new item?

Vic said...

Hehe, I think it does! But I'm wavering already... October is starting to drag lol. What's ecofest?

Ecofest is put on by Western Heights Uniting Church (our first one was last year), I'm one of the organisers. We have a green market, speakers/workshops, BBQ, kids activities, community groups etc. It will be held on the 5th of November this year. For more info :

Cheers Alicia. :)

Oh - while I'm here, I'm talking to a girl who used to be in the Melbourne Brown Owls craft group but who has moved to Geelong about maybe starting a Geelong chapter - will be blogging about it tomorrow sometime, if that sounds like something you'd be interested in pop over & let me know!
