And also on the 27th: Fashion Clownette is hosting their Hello Handcraft Hangout on September 27th from 11am-3pm at the Eugene Garden Club: 1645 High St. in Eugene. This is a FREE event. From their newsletter:  “Come hang out at the Eugene Garden Club for a crafty social meet-up & potluck! Whatever portable handwork you fancy, come do it with friends! Crochet, knit, cross-stitch, needlepoint, embroidery, beading, drawing, scrapbooking, or ANY other crafty thing! If you aren’t working on a project right now, just bring yourself or bring something to show & tell! This is also a potluck brunch, so bring your favorite food or drink item to share — meet new people and say hello while you handcraft and hangout!” Learn more about Fashion Clownette’s sewing/costume academy at www.fashionclownette.com Run by Axel Dazee, the costume shop manager/costume designer for the Eugene Ballet (among many other very cool things!)
