Break out the sequins and prepare to dance BRISBANE because VELVET REWIRED the show opens from 16 November in the Raine & Horne Wynnum Spiegletent at the Wynnum Fringe, ahead of a season at Sydney Opera House.

It’s a love letter to DISCO and you HAVE to be there!

VELVET REWIRED is a big, bold, and beautiful production staring the iconic MARCIA HINES.

The show features 17 major hit songs that dip deep into the disco psyche and are universal in their joyousness – including If You Could Read My Mind, Born to be Alive, Everybody Dance, Shake Your Groove Thing, It’s Raining Men, Don’t Leave Me This Way, Turn the Beat Around, No More Tears (Enough is Enough), He’s The Greatest Dancer, Boogie Wonderland, Disco Inferno and Boogie Wonderland.

It is inspired by Studio 54, a club famous for its wild parties and hedonism, but also ultimately for its cultural acceptance and equality on the dance floor.

How to Manage a Large Piece of Cross Stitch Fabric

I am known to be really paranoid when it comes to cutting cross stitch fabric for a project. I will math it out, count, recount, think about it, worry, decide it needs to be bigger than math plus my already large margin for error suggests. If I could just be confident in choosing the correct size of fabric I’d have a lot more stitching time!

Sometimes you have a lot of extra fabric beyond where you are stitching because your fabric is too big. Or maybe you’re just working on a big project that leaves excess fabric potentially in your way when you are stitching. 

Hannah Hand Makes has a post all about how to deal with excess fabric on the sides of a large cross stitch project (which is actually a podcast if you’d rather listen). She is talking more about huge stitchalong projects where you need a big piece of fabric than my particular problem of timid cutting, but the same advice applies. 

I am lazy and don’t want to buy new products, so I would probably devise some sort of rolling and clamping situation with items I already have in the house, but she has some great tips for actual products you can buy that will help with this situation such as large hoops, standing frames and scroll frames. One of these solutions would certainly be worth the investment if you’re doing a year long (or otherwise long term) stitchalong or really big project where that excess fabric is going to cause problems. 

Because beyond being annoying, odds are good I’m going to end up stitching right through that extra fabric and making a big mess. 

Check out all the tips for working with a really big piece of cross stitch fabric over at Hannah Hand Makes. 

What’s the biggest cross stitch project you’ve ever made? I’d love to hear all about it!
