We’ll be watching the 1999 sapphic cult classic But I’m a Cheerleader. The theatre will have soft lighting so you can comfortably craft during the movie.

Don’t feel like watching the movie? No problem! We’ll have lots of comfy seating outside the theatre so you can keep crafting, chatting, and hanging out.

ABOUT THE FILM
A naïve teenager is sent to “sexual redirection” school when her straitlaced parents and friends suspect she might be gay.

RAFFLE PRIZES
We’ll have three raffle prize packs filled with crafty goodies, trinkets, handmade items from local makers, and donations from our partners. Extra raffle tickets can be purchased online or day-of.

Proceeds from the raffle help support Loose Ends YYC and future community crafting events.

Bring your craft, bring a friend, and spend a cozy creative morning with us!
