Cinnamon of the Chicago Craft Mafia sent in this call for vendors for the Do It Your Own D*mn Self Show

On March 28th from 12-4pm at Pulaski Park Fieldhouse (1419 W. Blackhawk, NE of Milwaukee/Division/Ashland intersection) the Chicago Craft Mafia is having an inaugural craft SUPPLY show/sale.

We know everyone has tons of supplies that they’re just never going to use and we know that Chicago is full of crafters who would like to try something new but would love to spend less to try it out. So we’re encouraging crafters to sign up for a show where they can sell fabric, beading supplies, painting materials, yarn, tools, books, etc. Finished works are not to be sold.

To sign up go to http://www.diytrunkshow.com/join and fill out the application. Then send $35 payment via Paypal to chicago@diytrunkshow.com. We’ll have a total of 40 spaces, but they’re filling up fast.
