Movers and Makers Once a small parking lot craft fair in Santa Ana with just 25 vendors, the Patchwork Show has grown into a multi-city festival that brings together hundreds of creatives in each community. Dubbed the Modern Makers Festival, events take place up and down the California coast and feature a juried selection of vendors selling apparel, accessories, art, home goods, apothecary items and more. Its fall season kicks off Nov. 6 and 7 with a new location in Old Town Tustin, where visitors can peruse different offerings and activities each day. The second SoCal date will take place the following weekend at Marine Stadium in Long Beach. It’s Patchwork’s largest show, featuring more than 250 makers, live music, food trucks, DIY crafting and even a bike valet. Furry friends are welcome at the waterfront venue, so bring the whole family to shop small and support local. dearhandmadelife.com | IG: @thepatchworkshow
