York Makers Winter Fair - Saturday 22 November 2025

York Makers Winter Fair - Hippystitch
(Flyer Design - Lucy Monkman)

It's almost that time of year again when the York Makers Winter Fair puts in an appearance to make your Christmas shopping easy. Pop the date in your diary - Saturday 22 November 2025 at Clements Hall, Nunthorpe Road, York, YO23 1BW from 10am to 4pm. Expect to find me there along with other stallholders who will be selling candles, terrazzo homeware, textiles and clothing, leather goods, prints and cards, paintings, stained glass, wooden items, felted creations, paper and book art, ceramics and jewellery of all sorts. This year we have the added bonus of a cafe run by Planet Food. It'll be a great event to start your Christmas shopping or to treat yourself.

Colourful Hippystitch Button Brooches

I love searching out interesting fabric and buttons and turning them into jewellery.  So, as well as my fabric necklaces and button bracelets (see top image), I shall have lots of new brooches.  Some are colourful (above) or vintage & modern...
