About Me

We are a hot bunch of Aussie girls in Melbourne and Sydney who get together for a stitch n bitch when we can get organized.
This is our MANIFESTO:

* We believe in the modern folk revolution
* Scissors and champagne can mix
* Colours can never clash
* Tea cosies are not square
* Freeform craft is all about spirit not technique
* Chain stitch can be avant garde
* Little Edie is a style icon!

Contact Miss Gypsy if you wanna hang with the Sydney Kuties Here's Gypsy

Next Melbourne Kuties Session: Thursday May 31, 8pm at "Meet Me at Mike's" (see details in the blog kids!)

*Not associated in anyway shape, form nor spirit with the KKK. Thank you for your understanding.
