For those feeling a little overwhelmed or underwhelmed by the state of their stash, we invite you to join us at the second annual Restash 2017 (Melbourne).

What is a Restash? It’s a fabric, notions, yarn and pattern swap… the chance for people to give-away items that they no longer have a need for (destash) and for fellow crafters to take home items that inspire (restash). This is a free event, but we do ask that you bring at least one item to swap.

DATE:  Saturday July 1st
TIME:  2pm – 4pm
LOCATION:  Fairfield Community Room (opposite Fairfield Library – 121 Station Street, Fairfield)

Bring your unwanted fabric, notions, yarn and patterns. Can you please bundle fabric and label with type (if known) and meterage (width and length).

  • Do we have to RSVP? If so can I please RSVP for 3? Thanks Anna and team!

    • No need to RSVP this year Kat. We found that last year it was a stream of people coming and going for the two hours so we didn’t come close to reaching the room capacity.

  • Can’t wait! 🙂

  • Fabulous Anna, look forward to coming along this year!

  • Loved the last one – was such great motivation to clean out my shelves. Took six bags and promised dear-one i would only bring one bag home – I kept to that but it was a rather fat little bag.
    Was great to see pieces that i had hoarded for years being snapped up and knowing they would finally be put to good use. Keen to go through cupboards again.

  • Just catching up on blog reading now so only just found out about restash! Had a great time last year & have a box of fabric ready to bring along this year!
