A few weeks ago I had the sudden urge to try cross stitching, but could not find any aida cloth (it was Sunday after all, everything was closed), but luckily I have a friend who is just as obsessed with hobby-collecting as I am, so an hour later she was at my door, cloth in hand 😍🤭

Then of course I forgot about it, as you do, until today! So here's my first cross stitch piece 🙌

Currently making it into a patch by using fusible webbing onto cotton and edge stitching it.

SWAPPORTUNITY ÉIRE: Patch & Pint

Hyne’s Bar, Wednesday, August 6 at 06:00 PM GMT+1

Join us at the lovely Hynes’ Pub on Wednesday, August 6th for an evening of crafting, chatting, pints, and solidarity. We’ll be raising funds for the people of Palestine and gathering a lovely bunch of like-minded heads together.

Come sit, stitch, and make a patch - whether it’s a 🇵🇸, 🇸🇩, 🇮🇷, 🇱🇧, or something completely your own. It doesn’t have to be a flag, so feel free to get creative and make whatever you feel like!

We’ll also have some Tatreez embroidery patterns available if you’d like to try your hand at some traditional Palestinian stitching.

This event will also be a space to share ideas, conversations, and ways we can mobilise and stay active in the fight to end the suffering of the Palestinian people. Fundraising alone isn’t enough, so let’s keep moving!

All materials will be provided. Just bring yourself, and maybe a piece of clothing or a bag to sew your patch onto.

You’re also welcome to make patches to bring home or gift to whoever you want ❤️

🗓️ Date: Wednesday, August 6th

🕕 Time: 6–9 PM (drop in anytime and leave whenever you like)

💸 Price: €15 per person. Includes your first pint FREE, thanks to a generous donation from Hynes’.

💰 Pay on the day. Cash or Revolut accepted.

✍️ Please sign up via the Google Form in our bio so we have an idea of numbers.

Proceeds will be donated to the Bureij Association, an organisation providing support and relief for people in G@z@ with special and additional needs.
