Come and be inspired at the Craft & Sewing Show! Wander through a marketplace full of great ideas and inspiring designs. Feast your eyes on exciting displays and features that will intrigue and impress. Find a new project and enjoy that creative spark.

The FDAA's participation at the Craft & Sewing Show first started in 2009 at the then CraftExpo with 'Paint By Numbers', a highly successful fundraising event for The Humour Foundation & the Clown Doctors, which involved the General Public painting three X 9 metre long canvases in Sydney, Brisbane & Melbourne.

Our ongoing participation in the Craft & Sewing Show (previously CraftExpo) is to inspire potential artists, as well as promote our art and the FDAA as a organisation keen to have new members. Members are encourage to volunteer their assistance at Craft & Sewing Show.
