Stitching is apparently sexy. Not just sexy, it's down right dirty.
The Melbourne Craft Cartel are asking you to sharpen up your needles and come pop your embroidery cherries at the next Trashbag Rehab: Embroidery Porn.
Trashbag Rehab is monthly DIY Craftivism for anyone who's overdosed on cutesy craft crap brought to Melbourne by the Melbourne Craft Cartel. The MCC are all about celebrating all that is irreverent, kitchy, delightfully offensive & made lovingly by hand.
The Craft Cartel is about providing community support for makers of objects that don’t normally have a space within the retail sphere. They support crafters who use innovative techniques, recycled materials, make provocative statements or just crafters who don’t have the capacity to make a full time living out of making what they make. They aim to recognise and seek to promote the value to our communities and our environment of buying interesting and wonderful handmade objects as opposed to mass produced plastic crap. "We do not subscribe to art wank and we are prone to ridiculing the pretentious."
This session of collective public stitching turns the idea of cute animals and prissy flowers on its proverbial head - and inspires dirty girls and boys alike to point their imaginative needles at more sexy subjects.
