Thank you to everyone who
participated in the Expo this year!

This new event, which premiered in St. Charles, MO, was geared toward women do-it-yourself-er’s who want to dream it, design it, sew it, craft it or do it with their own fashion and style. The DIY Expo presented a fresh new look at the entire sewing, and hand craft industry, and added more do it yourself interest areas geared to women.

The Do It Yourself Diva’s Expo was a two day event featuring classes and stage presentations from some of the top Diva’s in the country. In addition to the classes and stage presentations, we invited a select number of vendors to exhibit for this event with products and services women want to explore. This was the perfect place to Dream It, Design It, Sew It, Craft It, Quilt It …. Do It!

Friday evening was the premiere showing of Handmade Nation, The Rise of DIY Art, Craft and Design, movie by Faythe Levine profiling the rise of DIY and indie crafters.
