Renegade Craft Fair and Shoreditch Adventures

I took a trip to Brick Lane to check out the Renegade Craft Fair. I found out about it from Tilly and the Buttons blog as she is one of the many crafters / makers at the event. The fair is open on the 5th and 6th November from 11am - 6pm at the Old Truman Brewery and even better it's free to get in!

I popped along to see crafts for some unique hand-crafted Christmas presents. I met the lovely Tilly at her stall and bought the new Cleo dungaree dress T&tB pattern which is also available as a kit. I bought the paper pattern as I have a decent remnant of burgundy Liberty needle cord from my McCall's 6696 shirt dress which is pretty similar to the kit option below. I hope I have enough for the Cleo.

Lots of amazing craftspeople and makers

The lovely Tilly herself!

On my way home I took the scenic route via Ebor Street near Brick Lane then to Spitalfields Market and finally Liverpool Street.
