Fabric from the people to the people, since 2009

In the early days of Felt, one of the most exciting things about growing an online community was the many new opportunities to connect with like-minded people doing amazing things around New Zealand – and one of those new friends, back in 2009, was Josie Brennan, the founder of Fabric-a-brac. This year Fabric-a-brac is celebrating its 15th anniversary with five new locations around Aotearoa, and an incredible grand total of over $140,000 raised for hospice in New Zealand!

Head along to Crossroads Hall at the corner of Church and Cook Streets from 9am till 12.30pm for your chance to score some crafty gems that have been hiding away in Manuwatu cupboards. There’s some amazing finds, especially from Levin and its surrounding regions that once hosted lots of textile factories.
