What is it?
De/Re: Stash is a new project from Captain Patch-It, that aims to promote the sustainable reuse and redistribution
of craft materials and supplies around the Australian cosplay scene.
It encourages and provides an outlet for cosplayers and crafters to declutter their crafting stashes,
while providing others with the opportunity to acquire and
bring new life to the donated materials and supplies!
How It Works:
Everyone is welcome to donate unused crafting supplies they no longer need into a dedicated De/Re: Stash tub.
This could include useful amounts of fabrics, filament, leather or even surplus tools!
Anyone is welcome to access the same stash, to look through and take home any supplies that can be of use!
Where to find?
The De/Re: Stash can be found at Captain Patch-It's Cosplay Repair Areas at conventions across Australia.
Simply keep an eye on Captain Patch-It's Socials for upcoming De/Re: Stash appearances, and feel free to donate any un-needed crafting supplies,
or bring along a bag to take some supplies back with you!
Goals:
Provide an opportuniry for crafters to reduce their stashes
Encourage creative reuse and breath new life into unused supplies
Support crafters with opportunities to obtain supplies for free
Help connect cosplayers and conventions across Australia
