Are you going to any crafty events this June? Or will you be staying home like the rest of Sydney?<br />
<br />
<br />
P.s This is not strictly in June, or just not at all - it's in July, but it is definitely worth a mention:<br />

Hello!<br />
<br />
Did you know you can search crochet patterns and images at the <a href="http://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/result?q=crochet+&l-title=The+Australian+%E2%80%A6%7Ctitleid%3A112&sortby=dateAsc">national library archives</a>?<br />
I think the've been updating thier online archives and there are searchable vintage Australian Women's weekly crafty tips and patterns. They go way back to the 1930's and have ideas for d'oyleys (as they spell it!) patterns for crocheted puff sleeve jumpers and other very lovely retro crafty things things.<br />
<br />

Have you seen these incredible stitched headpieces? Janice Jalieski has no formal textiles training and she believes this gives her freedom to explore beyond rules and boundaries. Her work is inspired by her grandmother's circa 1930's hat collection and explores themes of communication and connectivity.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>It's been faaaar too long since our last blog post! And so much has happened :: our crafternoons have moved from the cosy & wintery Pocket Bar to *sunshiney* Centennial park. Now we can bring delicious baked things to share, warm our backs in the sun, and stretch our legs on the endless grass. Picnic crafternoons feel so much more relaxed...<br />

It’s strange, it’s embarrassing and it’s legit… I am afraid of wet wool. Just ask the EX-boyfriend who surprised me with a wooly jumper and glass of water one morning.<br />
So you can imagine my trepidation when I sat down at <a href="http://www.pocketsydney.com.au/" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.pocketsydney.com.au/');" target="_blank" title="Pocket Bar">Pocket Bar</a> on Sunday for a casual cheese and wine afternoon and saw a group of knitters…<br />
Panic sunk in as soon to be tea cosy’s dangled dangerously close to full glasses of mojitos.<br />
Deciding it’s time to face my fear I approached the group and was introduced to Alex, founder of <a href="http://sydneycrafternoon.blogspot.com/" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/sydneycrafternoon.blogspot.com/');" target="_blank" title="Crafternoon">Crafternoon</a>. She was lovely enough to put her knitting needles down and have a quick chat.<br />

<br />
<strong>When did Crafternoon start? </strong>In June 2009. Today is our 1st birthday.<br />
<br />
<strong> What inspired Crafternoon? </strong>It was inspired by ‘Stitch and Bitch’ in Chicago only Crafternoon leaves out the bitch. It’s a great way to meet other crafters over a cup of tea, offering a supportive place to stitch, create and learn.<br />
<br />
<strong>Does everyone know each other? </strong>No, people have just met through the group and become friends.<br />
<br />
<strong>Who is welcome? </strong>Crafternoon is open to all. Most people knit or crochet, however any cafe friendly crafts are welcome…<br />
<br />
<strong>How often do you meet? </strong>Once a fortnight.<br />
<br />
<strong>Why Pocket? </strong>It has good food, yummy cocktails and a really nice relaxed atmosphere on Sundays.<br />
<br />
<strong>How can people get involved?</strong> Check out the <a href="http://sydneycrafternoon.blogspot.com/" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/sydneycrafternoon.blogspot.com/');" target="_blank" title="Crafternoon">Crafternoon Blogspot</a> for upcoming meetups and other crafty business.<br />
<br />
<strong>When is the next event?</strong> Sunday July 4th, 2-5pm at Pocket bar, 13 Burton St Darlinghurst.<br />

I used photoshop and just divided an A4 page into 8 equal rectangles using 'guides'.<br />
Then design away!<br />
This zine was for our crafternoon group so i wanted to include info about upcoming meets, silly puns, a contact list, and a make-wish-list.<br />
Print!<br />
Then fold and cut it as recommended on this handy dandy How-Tuesday video:<br />

The July Swap is open to all Sydney Crafternoon Members<br />
*You MUST be able to attend the Swap Party on Sunday July 18*<br />
<br />
Sign up <b style="color: #3d85c6;">BEFORE <span style="background-color: white;">JULY 1</span></b><span style="background-color: white;"> </span>(RSVP <a href="http://www.facebook.com/home.php?sk=lf#%21/event.php?eid=128866240479419&ref=mf">here</a>)<br />
Have your Pot holders finished and read to swap on <a href="http://www.facebook.com/home.php?sk=lf#%21/event.php?eid=128866240479419&ref=mf"><b style="color: #3d85c6;">JULY 18</b></a><br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">THE RULES:</span><br />
:: Each participant is required to crochet/quilt/knit/sew 2 potholders.<br />
:: Your pot holders must have a little loop at the top so they can be hung up. <br />
:: Make your pot holders as lovely as possible, use beautiful yarns or fabric, colour combinations and patterns.<br />
:: Keep the purpose in mind...use natural fibres as they are more heat resistant and less flammable, and consider padding or using multiple layers. We don't want yarn that will stick to either a pot or a hand when heated or exposed to flame! <br />
:: Wrap your pot holders separately and attach a little note with your name and care instructions or a message...<br />
:: We will swap in a lucky dip kinda way (as we did with the mug cosies) at the <a href="http://www.facebook.com/home.php?sk=lf#%21/event.php?eid=128866240479419&ref=mf">swap party</a>.<br />
:: Have fun making!<br />
<b><br />

This evening, parties took (and are taking) place all over the world. The <a href="http://www.meetup.com/Etsy-Craft-Party/7389/">Sydney Etsy party</a> at Notebook Photographic studios was a lovely evening of fun fabric crafting, friendly faces and delicious food. <br />
