| | May 1, 2009 Hello our fine crafty friends, Tightening up those purse strings? No need to sacrifice fun! The following events are fun, eco-friendly and free! Appliqué Craft Night!  Summer is nearly here! Time to think about picnics in the park, outdoor brunches and rooftop dinner parties. Join us at Craft Night on Monday, May 4, and learn how to spruce up your household or wardrobe with cheerful appliquéd cloth napkins, pillowcase, t-shirts, or tote bags — based on the Scrappy Tablecloth project from Weekend Sewing by fabric and clothing designer Heather Ross. This is a great project for using up all those random scraps of fabric or apparel with large, interesting motifs and can be used to embellish all sorts of items. Please bring with you a t-shirt, pillowcase, totebag, or cloth napkins to appliqué upon.
Not in Brooklyn? Join us for a live broadcast and demo from Craft Night online in the Virtual Labs starting at 5pm EDT. Free Beer and Bikes at 3rd Ward!  3rd Ward, right here in Brooklyn is celebrating their 3rd anniversary on Sunday May 3, from 2 - 8pm by taking over Stagg Street for a day of mayhem! Plus, with their new Green Bikes program you can get a free custom-designed bike when you sign up for a 3rd Ward membership. Stop by and compete in a drag race, bring a t-shirt for live screenprinting, take a workshop, or just come for the fun. Complete details on the fun times here.
