Create your own snuggle specimen!
Get crafty and cozy by making your very own cute, cuddly stitched snuggle buddies!
A full day of creepy‑cute crafting, plush taxidermy, Franken‑critters, and a curated oddities marketplace!
Proceeds from this event will go to CHEO.
Welcome to Stitched & Stuffed: Create Your Own Snuggle Specimens, a full‑day creative experience blending creepy, cute, cuddly, and monstrous craftsmanship! Join us for two concurrent hands‑on workshops, a curated marketplace featuring oddity and artisan vendors, food and drink options, and a vibrant community of makers, witches, weirdos, and creature‑creators. Whether you want to craft a plush wall mount, experiment with Franken‑creature construction, shop for crystals and bones, or just soak in the vibes, this day is made for you.
WORKSHOPS
Workshop 1: Plush Taxidermy Mount
Learn to create your own plush “taxidermy” mount — a creepy‑cute creature trophy that blends soft sculpture, beginner‑friendly sewing, and imaginative oddity design. No real animals used (unless you choose to)
Workshop 2: FrankenCritter Workshop
Build your own FrankenCritter using mixed patterns, parts, textures, and stitching styles. Swap limbs, combine features, experiment with asymmetry, and bring your stitched‑together darling to life.
All skill levels welcome. Workshops are run concurrently in 2 different time slots. One craft per time slot. If you'd like to do both crafts, please select both time slots. All materials included.
