The Footscray CWA is giving craft enthusiasts the chance to get rid of unwanted materials and buy new ones at its craft de-stash market on Sunday, July 20.
Held at the Yarraville Seniors Centre from 10am to 2pm, this year’s craft de-stash market will be the second hosted by the Footscray CWA, following the inaugural event in 2023.
President Doris Borg said members of the community who want to get rid of their stash of craft items can hire a stall table on the day and sell their wares
“For example any type of materials, wools, patchworks, sewing patterns, knitting, crochet, all your excess stuff basically,” she said.
So far 17 of the 20 stall tables for hire have already been sold, with all proceeds going towards the Footscray CWA.
The proceeds from sales on the day will then be kept by the stallholder.
“We will also be having our own table there at the event, plus a cake stall and preserve stall and we’ll also be offering Devonshire tea and coffee and cakes,” said Ms Borg, who said money raised by the organisation would go towards initiatives supporting children and women in the inner-west.
“Over the last 10 years we’ve raised approximately 26 thousand dollars through various fundraisers thanks to the western suburbs community.”
