Don’t forget Handmade Nation screening on Monday!
In the meantime, why not make a lamp out of all your old tapes? I found it here…

‘Zilka Recycled Hangers’
Clothes hangers made entirely from recycled British newspapers. Quite cool, though I wonder what happens to the other piece?
I found these for sale online at ‘Pure Design’
Hmm, these claim to be the greenest of green hangers… “Green Hangers”
Or why not recycle an existing coat hanger into a peg bag? Free online tutorial here.
or here, if you can’t crochet.
That’s enough from me, I’d better go sort out my wardrobe…

Fabric-a-brac
Tuesday, March 24th, 2009
I’m really excited about an event that we’re sponsoring next month. It’s called Fabric-a-brac, and basically it’s the fabric equivalent of a huge second-hand clothes market. All those of you who have an oversized stash of fabric that you’re really not going to get through in your lifetime (or, perhaps that you want to add to), Fabric-a-brac is for you! And it’s not just for material – there will be all sorts of sewing related goodies up for grabs as well. Oh, and we’re giving away copies of World Sweet World too. What would a fair be without a few freebies 
12noon – 4pm, Saturday 18 April
Brooklyn Community Centre, 18 Harrison St, Wellington
Stalls are really, really, really, REALLY cheap, so do get in touch with Josie if you’re interested in selling, or getting a group of friends together to do so: fabricabracwgtn@gmail.com
Start sorting out your sewing room – this is going to be fun! Hooray!

It seems the Ponoko guys are really going in the right direction: making just got even easier now, with the introduction of Photomake. You don’t need a computer for your design anymore, no fancy schmancy vector programmes, just your imagination, paper and pen (and a camera). Congratulations, Ponoko!
