Cirque Du Soleil returns to Australia with KURIOS – CABINET OF CURIOSITIES

by

Cirque du Soleil will return to Australia from October this year with its most acclaimed touring show, KURIOS – Cabinet of Curiosities™.  KURIOS will premiere under their Signature Big Top on 2 October 2019 in Sydney before bringing this extraordinary show to Brisbane from January 10.  Written and directed by Michel Laprise, KURIOS – Cabinet of Curiosities is a tale in which time comes to a complete stop, transporting the audience inside a fantasy world where everything is possible.  In this realm set in the latter half of the nineteenth century, reality is quite relative indeed as our perception of it is utterly transformed.

Tickets ON SALE from Monday 18 March at 9am by visiting cirquedusoleil.com/kurios or by calling 1800 036 685.

Why Everyone Is Talking About Matchy Matchy Sewing Club Patterns

There is a certain kind of sewing pattern that makes you start mentally matching fabrics before you have even finished reading the description. You know the type — relaxed shapes, clever details, pockets if the sewing gods are smiling, and just enough room for you to use that fabric you bought “for something special” three years ago.

That is exactly where Matchy Matchy Sewing Club seems to have found its sweet spot.

This indie sewing pattern brand has been getting more attention lately, and it is not hard to see why. The patterns feel cheerful, wearable, and creative without looking overly complicated. They have that handmade wardrobe energy sewists love right now: loose dresses, easy tops, patchwork details, everyday pants, quilted pieces, and garments that look like they were designed for real life rather than a mannequin who has never sat down.

What makes Matchy Matchy Sewing Club especially appealing is that it does not feel intimidating. The designs have personality, but they still look achievable. They invite you to play with fabric, mix prints, use scraps, and sew clothes that feel comfortable enough for the school run, the craft room, the market, or a lazy Sunday spent pretending you are only “tidying” the fabric stash.

And really, that is a big part of the current handmade wardrobe trend. Sewists are not just looking for another plain sewing pattern. They want pieces that feel personal. They want PDF sewing patterns that are beginner-friendly but still interesting. They want garments that let fabric choices shine, especially if there is a chance to use up those beautiful leftovers we keep folding neatly and then never touching again.

Matchy Matchy Sewing Club taps into all of that beautifully.
