Let’s go to the movies!

Based on the best-selling novel by Rosalie Ham, this bittersweet, comedy-drama is set in early 1950s Australia. Tilly Dunnage, a beautiful and talented misfit, after many years working as a dressmaker in exclusive Parisian fashion houses, returns home to the tiny middle-of-nowhere town of Dungatar to right the wrongs of the past. Not only does she reconcile with her ailing, eccentric mother Molly and unexpectedly falls in love with the pure-hearted Teddy, but armed with her sewing machine and incredible sense of style, she transforms the women of the town and in so doing gets sweet revenge on those who did her wrong.

We’re super excited to partner with the DCMQG on a zippered pouch swap!

Here’s how it works:
1. Register for the swap by September 6th, by completing this survey: Zippered Pouch Swap Registration

2. Make a zippered pouch no smaller than 6″ H x 6.5″ W x 4″ D for your partner. You will receive your partner’s name, email, and social media information by September 12^th. This is not a surprise swap, so please get to know your partner!

You can use any zippered pouch pattern – However these dimensions are for the Noodlehead Medium Open Wide Pouch, which is a perfectly acceptable zippered pouch you could make! Check out our Pinterest board for more inspiration!

3. Fill the zippered pouch with $10 worth of goodies and a note and bring it to the October guild meeting on October 20^th. Stella will provide tags for you to attach to the pouch so you can write your partner’s name on it.

4. At the November 17^th guild meeting, you’ll receive your zippered pouch & goodies from your DCMQG swap partner.

5. Post how happy you are on social media, tagging your new DCMQG pal!
