Connect with other makers at this year’s Make in Public Day in Old 
Town, Alexandria! We have a full schedule of events and treats to 
celebrate all the Makers in our lives.
Make in Public Day is a vibrant, community-wide celebration
 of creativity and craft. Originally launched 16 years ago as a small 
local meet-up for World Wide Knit in Public Day, the event has grown 
into a beloved tradition that drew over 350 participants last year.
Makers of all kinds—knitters, crocheters, painters, 
potters, and more—are invited to bring their works-in-progress and 
create together in public.
<h2>Tips for this event:</h2>
We have some seating and will also have tents to provide shade cover.
 However, we always recommend that you bring your own seating – lawn 
chair, cushion, blanket, etc. Sunscreen and water are always a good 
idea. We have amazing neighbors this year open to provide food and 
beverages! Call Your Mother, Goodies, Midnight Treats, La Fromagerie and
 Eddie’s Little Shop &amp; Deli.
Gift with purchase!&nbsp;We will have a special custom Shelli.Can sticker for everyone who makes a purchase of $30 or more during the event.

Win a prize with our custom Plinko game! We’ll have 
prizes like 200 rewards points, $10 0ff, $50 off or Shelli Can sticker 
of your choice! (A great time to plan out those summer knits!)
We’ll have some very special guests this year: alpacas! Our friends at <a href="https://alpacalanecriations.com/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Alpaca Lane</a> will bring their alpaca experience to Prince Street, so everyone can have their own fuzzy encounter.

Fibre alumni and staff instructors Jillian and Kerry will be running Fit Check workshops
 so you can learn how to understand sizing and take the best 
measurements for a garment that works. They’ll also help with taking 
your measurements, and you will leave with a schematic of your own 
measurements to assist in future garment-making.
Be sure to sign up for a time slot, there are limited spaces at each time.
