Today’s Handmade Philly Embellishment Table at Swap O Rama Rama (Old Pine Community Center at 4th and Lombard) was a big success with many swappers stopping by to add flowers, buttons, lace, and all kinds of handmade apliques.
Members and swappers stopped by with garments they found or brought from home and needed just a little something to make them perfect, including pom-poms on the sleeves, hand cut felt appliques on the bodice, cut-out fabric flowers on the neckline, a bit of ribbon on the hem and two girls who created their own embellished headbands with hand-cut flowers.
We also collected new-to-us outfits and took advantage of the screenprinting opportunities to get flowers, gas masks, terariums (from Girls Can Tell) and a birdy from the folks at derisory designs.

Handmade Philly’s Ruth Schanbacher, Anna Cherniahivsky and Jon Vitale shared their secrets to making a Classic Robot Costume with Grid Magazine. Hooray! According to our crafters, “This costume can be made almost exclusively using things from around the house.” All you need: boxes, pair of gloves, paint & brushes, glue, pencil, utility/x-acto knife and any other flashy embellishments. Check out their article in the magazine’s online issue and let the Robot Costume madness begin.
And if you’re looking to celebrate this crafty featured piece, mark your calendars for Grid Magazine’s October Issue Release Party on October 12th at Monk’s Café from 5-7pm. Want to show some Handmade Philly love? Then head over to the party in the Robot Costume.
