You are invited to...

DIRTY PRETTY THINGS
A Terribly Wonderful VINTAGE Event
Sale * Party * Happy Times

@ The Brooklyn Parlor

72 Greenpoint Ave between Franklin and West

Greenpoint, Brooklyn

Sunday, July 26th, noon to 8 p.m.

You are invited to DIRTY PRETTY THINGS, a pop-up vintage market/party for one day only and the best way to turn a few bucks into treasure on a Sunday afternoon. The event is being thrown by Tessi & June, a Brooklyn-based duo whose company specializes in putting vintage fashions in line with contemporary trends. Come down to Greenpoint Avenue off of Franklin--the hippest drag this side of the East River--browse, buy, and do the twist and the moonwalk to vintage tunes spun by a killer roster of local DJs including DJ Tiny Pants (Love Brigade), Kids with Snakes, Daniel Casanova, and Miss June D. The artist J. Penry (check out his killer flyer attached) will be in attendance doing live portraits.

Apparel (vintage and a few new local independent designers), jewelry, knick-knacks, artwork, furniture, records and more will be for sale. Revamp your wardrobe with one-of-a-kind dresses, skirts, suits, ties, shoes, purses, jewelry, and more. From the 40s through the 80s, from prim and pretty to wacky, glam and fabulous, Dirty Pretty Things will feature carefully selected vintage from dealers from New York and across the country. All found under one roof at the Brooklyn Parlour on 72 Greenpoint Avenue, a salon from a bygone era that has retained its nostalgic aesthetic for the benefit of vintage fans everywhere. And it's one-day only, so don't miss it!

JULY sewing class with cal patch!

this one-day workshop will take you through the steps of built by wendy pattern #3692, and you will have a completed garment by the end of the day. these classes are a lot of fun... and it's so satisfying to have a dress to wear by the end of the day. vegetarian lunch included.

JULY SEWING TOP/DRESS WORKSHOP WITH CAL PATCH
intermediate level, no clothing/pattern experience necessary

one 5-hour workshop
11am – 4pm
saturday, july 18th
$125 + supplies

cal patch will be in town briefly and i’m very happy that she has time to teach this class! if you know how to use a sewing machine, but following a pattern on your own is intimidating— then this class is perfect. or if you just enjoy the structure of a class and sewing with others! we will be using the simplicity 3692 built by wendy pattern. students must arrive at class with pieces already cut out and marked, as this can take up to 2 hours and it will be otherwise impossible to finish the project in the allotted time. you will need to bring your own sewing machine to class. if you can’t, you can email me and I will try to arrange to borrow one for you.

* * ALSO, spots are still available in the jewelry making and screen printing t-shirts classes!
