Meet and Make - Worthing's crafty Stitch 'n Bitch

Where do all the cool and creative people in Worthing go? On a Tuesday morning you'll find them at Meet and Make, a free weekly craft and coffee drop-in. Set up by two of Worthing's savviest women Nicky Fijalkowska and Chi Chi Revolver, in three short months it has become a hub for the town's crafting community. All forms of stitchery and handicrafts are welcome, and procrastinators are positively encouraged to bring along garments needing repair and a bit of TLC.

The venue for this splendid meet up is our town's best independent cafe Mooey's Mocha Shop which sadly is forced to close at the end of the month. The owners Danny and Linzi Harrocks have done so much to create a lovely, welcoming environment (as well as serving delicious food and damn fine coffee) and as a result Mooey's became a magnet for the great and the good of the town. We're heartbroken at the cafe's demise - there's no where else like it. But rest assured Meet and Make will continue and is currently in negotiation with a forward-thinking seafront establishment - watch this space.

Venue update:

Great news as our new venue has just been confirmed! Starting Tuesday 12th June 2012 our weekly meets will be held at Coast Cafe on Worthing seafront (at Splashpoint, east of the Pier), from 10.00am to 12noon. Our last two meet ups at Mooey's will be on 22nd May and 29th May.

Not so Scary Monsters

I've added a new tribe of handmade monster toys to my Etsy shop. These beasties are a little bit smaller and a perhaps even a little bit cuter than the first lot. They're made from vintage fabrics and I think the barkcloth ones are especially covetable. A couple are in the same fabrics as two of my ukulele tote bags - also on sale now in the shop.
