The De-Stash Bash is happening at the TOMS Shoes on S. Congress April 26th
11-5pm.

Think of it like a group arts and crafts garage sale. Over 7 of Austin’s craftiest makers will be purging their stash of craft supplies. From hard to find vintage jewelry parts in bulk to brand new bolts of fabric. Something for every crafter. Don’t come looking for finished items. This is all about the supplies.

This event will be like Michaels, Hobby Lobby, Etsy and a flea market all rolled into one without the long lines, politics, postage fees and dust. Plus there will be a band and cocktails!

Here are a few things you might find.

– Vintage beads
– Sewing trim
– Soap making molds
– Collage ephemera
– Yarn
– Craft books and magazines
– Fabric (new and vintage)
– Buttons
– Candle making supplies
– Scrapbook paper
– Jewelry findings
