Songlines fabrics frocks event — *Charlee gets her hands on Anmanari Nolan's new fabric from Ikuntji Artists in April 2022*

It's a party!!! Come and celebrate with us!

Let's wrap up an amazing year of all things fabric and frocks at Songlines.

In 2022 there was a feast of fabric stuff in D-town - we had the inaugural Darwin Frocktails, Ikuntji Artists' Frock On 2022, Films for Frockistas and a Meet the Makers event. Over the year we brought together a diverse bunch of Darwin folk who love textiles and clothes + quite a few fibre enthusiasts wrangling Pandanus. It's been such a pleasure to meet you all.
