And we are very excited to say: tickets are about to be on sale for our 2024 event!

An enthusiastic sewist, crafter and all-round creative Laura is our go-to gal for all things me-made. She is a wearer of all things bright and homemade and is our in-house master of all matters stitchy and crafty. This multi-talented human (she is also our People and Culture expert) is our go-to gal for (actual) pep talks, project inspiration and sewing conundrums.

Ellie Whittaker affectionately labels her bold, joyful designs as ‘modern nostalgia’. She has worked with some of Australia’s biggest retailers, including Target and Cotton On and gained widespread repute with licensed ‘Ellie Whittaker’ ranges for Streets Ice Cream, Big W, Best&Less and Spotlight Stores. When she’s not working on licensing partnerships she runs her own online fabric store, manufacturing ethical and sustainable fabrics.

KATIE WEYCHARDT (@KatieMakesADress)
Katie, an all times maker and sometimes seller, is the talented and creative sewist behind the account @KatieMakesADress.

With a passion for the bright, the patterned, and the bespoke, Katie is more than a little bit inspiring.
