Special thanks to Jonna at Viking Brewing for being down to host this shindig and to Fluid Plus Drape, Ambivert Fabrics, Cozy Yarn, Quilt Creative, MECCA and Dreamery Fabric for your support both in benefit raffle donations, enthusiasm when I put out this idea, and your ongoing community building efforts!

Frocktails is a party concept that originated in the Brisbane, Australia sewing community and has since spread around the world, organized by local, independent groups.

Local bad***es, Bethany and Aria of Fluid Plus Drape and Sew Aria Sew, organized Eugene’s first Frocktails in 2024, and have given me their blessing to throw this party!

I am personally a lover of many different fiber arts, and I know lots of y’all are too, so I thought this party would be quadruple the fun if we could get all our fiber friends together of different communities and have a bash together!

This event is entirely volunteer organized – all proceeds from the benefit raffle will be going to local non-profits and community groups (MECCA, Community Supported Shelters, Willamette Farm & Food Coalition, The Lavender Network, Black Cultural Initiative.)
