Sew Magical Expo 2023 Florida Program

What is Sew Magical Expo?

An immersive weekend of classes, vendors, inspiration, and getting to meet or hangout with like-minded people! Sew Magical hosts an array of sewing and crafting events curated specifically for creatives. From immersive 3-day expos with tons of classes and vendors, to cruises for relaxation and creativity.

Welcome to SME

Graphic Design by: Natalia Rivera

Thank you for your support through these FIVE years!

The Destash Bash!

Have an overflow of scraps, fabric, notions, trims, or supplies you just don’t want to use anymore? Bring them to SME to join our Destash Bash!

How does it work?

•Bring sewing and crafting related items clearly labeled with your name (see below for limitations)

•Items donated will give you “points”

•Points vary based on the category the item falls into

•You can use your points to shop in the Destash Bash!

•Each point = $1, so if you don’t donate, you can buy your points

•If you don’t use up your points, they can be transferred to the next expo Destash Bash

***Limitations: All items need to come free of pet dander, no smell of smoke, and in lightly used condition. Please no boxes or items that potentially have insects, mold, mildew, or major damage. We will not award any points for items brought in that cannot be used in the Destash Bash. This is at the discretion of the SM Staff and Volunteers.

***Limitations: Please do not bring in more than 2 large boxes worth of items to the expo. If you have a large donation to make please hit the Contact Us button to schedule a dropoff or shipment prior to SME.

Saturday 8:30 PM

@SME Lounge

Drinks,

prizes

&

whatever

else we have time for. Be sure to come swagged out as your favorite 90’s icon. Kiddos are welcome at parent discretion. We can get rowdy.

Let’s talk RULES! for all In-Person Exchanges are “Dirty Santa” style.

1) Make your bag according to the exchange parameters and include any gifts indicated.

2) Now wrap it. Please find a unique, crafty way to wrap your bag. You could use a gift bag with a crafty theme, or wrap the exchange in a yard of fabric. You get the idea.

3) Bring your creation to the exchange at the appropriate time!

What’s going to happen when you get there.

1) you will place your exchange creation on a table and take a number. Don’t lose your number because you need it to know when it’s your turn to choose.

2) We will place all the numbers in a hat and draw out a number. The person holding that number gets to come up and pick a wrapped exchange. Then, they have to unwrap the exchange and show everyone what they got. That person gets to keep the wrapping, but they may or may not get to keep the bag. I’ll explain as we go along.

3) The second number is drawn from the bag. That person can either choose from the table and follow the example of the first person, or they can choose to “steal” the bag from the person. (See where the “Dirty Santa” part comes in?) If this second person

chooses from the table, they will open their exchange, keep the wrappings and sit down to see if they actually get to keep what they chose.

4) We continue drawing numbers and folks keep choosing from the table or “Stealing” from someone else. But, when a bag is in the hands of a third person it is “dead” and that person gets to keep it, it can’t be “stolen” from them. No matter if someone “steals” a bag from you, you still get to keep the wrappings. That’s why the wrappings matter, it’s another gift!

5) If a bag is “stolen” from you, then you get to go back to the table and choose another, or “steal” from someone else. You may not “Steal” from the person who just stole from you.

6) We continue like this through much merriment until all the numbers have been chosen and everyone has wrappings, as well as the bag. Then, in a twisted ending, the person who’s number was called first gets to “steal” from anyone, whether that exchange was “dead” or not. It really pays to be drawn first !Please note: If we have a large turn out, we reserve the right to place time limits on choosing, or the right to split the group into more manageable groups so that we can get this done during the one hour time slot and not be late for our next classes.Any questions? Feel free to ask!
