Brooklyn Boy Bagels will be serving his delicious New-York style bagels with handmade cream cheeses. We’ve also had some generous donations from Made 590, Etelage and All Buttons Great and Small  for our raffle. (Our raffle prizes represent the best of creative Newtown shops!)

Can’t wait to see you all there, let’s raise some money to keep this event alive in Sydney!

Please note that we have reached stallholder capacity, and also cannot take any more donations at this late stage. Also, unfortunately due to the venue space this event does not have disabled access.

If you’d like to be a stallholder, email fabricabracsyd@gmail.com and get in quick! If you have fabric to donate, please get in contact too. More exciting announcements to come!

August 25, 2012 – see the Brisbane page. More to come soon!

A huge thanks to everyone who attended our Sydney Fabric-a-brac on Sunday 6th May 2012. What a huge, fun-filled day it was! Fabric was sold, conversations were started, workshops were run, food was eaten, music was played… and money was raised! In total, we raised $1,200 for Sacred Heart Hospice. Black Star Pastry and The Sydney Etsy Team generously donated not only their time, but also cold hard cash, to our fundraising efforts. HIGH FIVES!

We also received a super generous donation from stallholders Eleanor Keene and Helen who were selling fabrics from the closed Berrima shop Peppergreen. The ladies donated ALL the sales from her table to hospice. How lucky are we?!

Thanks for all your fabulous feedback, we hope you enjoyed the day! The question on everyone’s lips was “when’s the next one?”. There will be another Fabric-a-brac in 2012, so stay tuned to this blog or our Facebook page. You can also email fabricabracsyd@gmail.com to be put on our mailing list.

Sweet tunes by Sydney bedroom musician Heart Swell.

Evan and the Brave – an all-singing/all-playing quintet out of Sydney. You may have heard their first single ‘Lil Monster’ on Triple J.

Acoustic, folk / roots sounds by the talented Portable Junk (pictured below).

Can’t wait to hear these tunes floating through the Petersham Town Hall as you all shop and sell!

Have you heard that we have teamed up with Black Star Pastry AND The Sydney Etsy Team to bring you a Fabric-a-brac experience to remember? Black Star Pastry will be selling delicious treats and keeping you fuelled while you shop. The Sydney Etsy Team will be running crafty workshops to inspire you and maybe even give you some ideas on how to use your newly purchased goodies. Both are helping us raise money for hospice – gee whiz! Is there anything these guys don’t do?!

We still have stalls available, but they are filling up fast. Email fabricabracsyd@gmail.com if you’d like to be a stallholder.

It will be held at Petersham Town Hall on Sunday 6th May, from 10am-3pm.

Petersham Town Hall is situated at 107 Crystal St, Petersham and is one of the few remaining Art Deco town halls that have been maintained in original condition. It’s right near Petersham train station, and there is plenty of (free!) parking. Some of the dancing scenes from the 1992 film Strictly Ballroom were filmed in its main auditorium.

Please email fabricabracsyd@gmail.com if you would like a stall.

We had such a blast last Saturday! Our gorgeous stallholders brought such a great vibe, and what a turn-out! Here are some pics.

Stay tuned for the next Sydney event… you can email fabricabracsyd@gmail.com to be put on our mailing list.
