Winter can be lame. Seriously lame. Shorter days, grey skies and the need to wear 54 layers to get to the car. Blergh. But there are a few things that can make winter fun: rad friends, fierce outfits and delicious cocktails! “But how do we bring this all together?”, I hear you say. Two words: Canberra Frocktails.
Inspired by the fantastic events organised by Kat, the Canberra Sewing Crew are hosting Canberra Frocktails on Saturday June 27th. And for those gents who think Frocktails is only for the ladies- never fear! If you are someone who sews you are most welcome. Come brave the mid-winter chill, sample a tasty cocktail or three, and catch up with everyone around in your finest ensemble!
Canberra Frocktails will be held at Monster kitchen and bar. Monster is located in the Nishi building in New Acton which is home to possibly the most photographed staircase in Australia (see why below). After several reconnaissance missions, the CBR Sewing Crew can confidently report it serves amazing locally sourced food, tasty wines and awesome cocktails. Tickets will be $70 for the evening and this includes a glass of bubbles on arrival, canapés served throughout the evening and our own private area to schmooze in. Like the sassy bosses we are!
To register your interest and keep in the loop about the event (including ticket sales) please email CBRfrocktails@gmail.com. We hope to see you there!
This is such a brilliant idea. Might have to steal it for myself and organise a Fen Frocktail party.
It is so much fun! I’v been to two (one in Melbourne and one in Sydney) organised by Kat and they were the best! Frocks, food and laughter = win 😀
Yay, cannot wait! I’ve already arranged my chauffeur for the weekend (thanks Dave) and am looking at hotels. Wish I was rich enough to stay at Hotel Hotel…tres fancy pancy.
It is so fancy! I wanna stay there myself and am seriously considering crashing in town for the night! Looking forward to having you here – ALL THE FUN!
I’m still not sure if I’ll be able to come but I am hoping I can. I will shoot an email over so I know what’s going on.
Awesomeness! We’d love to host you down this way, Kat 😀 There will be merriment and sassiness guaranteed!
You had me at champers.
You know it! ALL OF THE CHAMPERS!
Sounds like a fab idea. I hope I can clear a weekend to make it.
That would be awesome! We’re totally worth the drive (or bus trip- greyhound is cheap and cheerful!) 😀
I knew there was a reason I needed to get into the sewing blogosphere. If you’ll accept interstate interlopers I might try and come down from Sydney.
Huzzah! We’d love to have you along, Pam! The more the merrier- please send an email through to CBRfrocktails and we’ll pop you on the mail list 😀 😀 😀
I feel it possibly could be renamed Frocktails and Coats, because we know Canberra ain’t the land of warmth in winter…which now sounds like a great plan! Deadline to make a coat appointed!
Ohh, I hadn’t even thought of that- good point! Fractals and Coats is totally my code name for this now 😀
DUDE: I am on this like white on rice.
Heck, yes!
Hey Amanda
Are you planning an event for 2016? I would love to come down for it. We are planning to move to CBR in the next few years and I’m already scoping out the sewing community!!

Hi Caz – we haven’t got anything on the cards at the moment but keep an eye on our CBR Sewing Crew meet up group for upcoming events. We may do something in spring/summer and would love to meet you! 😀
