Handmade Nation Premier in Austin, TX!


On Sunday, September 6th The Alamo Drafthouse is hosting the Austin premier of Handmade Nation! A documentary about the craft movement in America by Faythe Levine. If you read my blog I'm going to go out on a limb and assume that you are crafty - or a crafty connoisseur - ergo you must go to the premier. It's mandatory.
Faythe has been traveling all over - premiering her documentary 1 city at a time & I've been eagerly awaiting it's arrival to the Lone Star State! So you can only imagine how thrilled I was to be asked to come and sell Model Citizen Clothing @ the premier! I've got some new stuff that isn't available in the shop yet! Ooh Aah! Other crafty Austinites will be there too - such as Sublime Stitching, Naughty Secretary Club, Made With Sweet Love, Ramonster, One Creative Girl, Pommes Frites & More! Come out, shop, see the film, check out some awesome demo's by Yudu, Wondercraft & Rachel Hobson! It's guaranteed to be an inspiring day! Tickets are still available through the Alamo Drafthouse!

I didn't get to go b/c I was out of town, but I was just talking to a coworker who said she went and one of her friends bought a pair of your earrings. :)

My coworker is working on this really cool embroidery project right now. She said the movie was inspiring.

I actually didn't get to see the movie! :(
I was in my booth working it. I had a great time - everyone was so friendly and just being around the other participants of the craft fair was inspiring. I have it on good authority though that the movie will be released on DVD through Buy Olympia. So - maybe when it comes out I'll have a little screening at my house and you ladies can come over!
Yes - that is what I will do.
Tell your friend to email her embroidery project to Jenny @ sublime stitching - they have an awesome embroider gallery!
