TL;DR: Patch sewing (but not required) drop-in Zoom crafting session
---
November is here and we’re back on Zoom for the chilly season!
This month, we are sewing on patches! Free kits are available in Victoria. Kits include lots of fabric for patches, embroidery floss, and an embroidery needle. We’ll be demoing some skills on our zoom session; no experience necessary.
To request a kit, please fill out our online form: https://monoceroseducation.ca/kit-signup
We’ll be in touch by email to confirm your kit request and send out the pickup instructions.
On Zoom, we will share artsy time together, and any level of participation is welcome. You are also welcome to work on your own craft.
We will have live captions on. If there's anything we can do to make this event more accessible for you, don't hesitate to reach out. You can message us or email queercrafternoon@gmail.com
Here are some FAQs and our community agreement too for more info:

Queer Crafternoon is funded by a City of Victoria My Great Neighbourhood Grant. Thank you to the City of Victoria for their generous support.
These events will be taking place on the traditional and unceded territories of the Lkwungen speaking peoples of the Songhees and Esquimalt Nations and the W̱SÁNEĆ peoples. We would like to acknowledge the rich and vibrant artistic practices of the Coast Salish Nations as well as those across Turtle Island that, along with their people, have faced persecution and attempted destruction by forces of colonization both past and present. Great honour and respect to the generations that have worked to keep these traditions alive, and to all those contributing to their revitalization today. Háy̓sxʷ q̓ə siám
Who we are: Queer Crafternoon is a free drop-in art space for queer, trans, and two-spirit folks of all ages along with their friends and family to craft, create, and connect! We are under the umbrella of Monoceros Education Society, and organized by a group of queer young adult volunteers living on unceded Lkwungen and W̱SÁNEĆ territory. Currently the 3 active facilitators are Ardeo, Celeste, and River.
