Alternative Energy Kits – Now Available!
I know some of you out there have been keen to get your hold of the Alternative Energy Pattern so you can wear your bike love with pride. But you’ve been hanging for the day that it finally got upgraded to a kit.
That day is here!
And not only is this kit supporting the Austin Yellow Bike Project but proceeds are also going to the Loophole Bike Repair Centre in Melbourne. So this kit is an intercontinental(inanantiglobalisationkindaway)hummersmashing machine! Thanks always to Katie Lee for this great design.
Each kit comes with everything you need including needle, thread, cross stitch fabric, pattern, instructions and inspiration.
Get your kit in the radical rags store today.
RCS goes hi-tech
OK hi-tech is a slight exaggeration..
As previously promised, I was gonna put the cross stitch kits up for sale as e-patterns. So you kids who already have all your own bits and bobs and especially those of you conscious of shipping stuff all over the planet, can now rest easy. I’ve got the Patriarchy Heart Pattern and the If It’s Yellow Pattern in the Radical Rags etsy store as e-patterns to go with the Feminist Bookmark Pattern that was already there.
I’ve got a couple of new patterns on the way as well so stay tuned.
I’m also in the process of redesigning the kits. I’ve been investigating more sustainable ways of packaging the kits up. So I should be printing up new ones in the next couple of months and they will be super sustainable!

Sorry
Well given that Kevin Rudd is actually saying Sorry this week, I figured I really should get around to putting my Sorry cross stitch kit online. I put this together a couple of months ago but I have been struggling getting photos together and the time to do it.
So presenting the Sorry Cross Stitch Kit!
This pattern is designed to be worn as a patch, or stitched directly onto some clothing.
And you can buy one here.
I must say though, I find it amazing that there’s still 34% of people who don’t get why it’s important to apologise to the Stolen Generation. I mean, it’s not like the government will be apologising for invading Aboriginal land, stealing all the land, mass slaughter of Aboriginal people, introduction of disease and the corruption of government. It’s not like they’re acknowledging the undeclared war in this country and the tenuous constitutional existence of the state of Australia.
Goodness we’ve got a long way to go.
Those of you interested in these issues should join Curse of Dialect, ANTaR and others at Section 8 Bar after the apology broadcast in Fed Square (9am 13thFeb) for some good decolonisation conversation.
