What is a frocktails?

Frocktails are social gatherings for people who love making garments and working with fiber arts—whether you sew, knit, crochet, embroider, weave, or anything in between. If you enjoy creating, you’ll feel right at home.

Many attendees choose to wear something they’ve made themselves, creating a space where others not only admire your outfit, but genuinely appreciate the time, skill, and creativity behind it.

Why Frocktails?

Frocktails are about more than just clothing—they’re about community. These events bring people together to celebrate creativity, share inspiration, and connect with others who understand the joy of making something with your own hands. It’s a welcoming, supportive environment where everyone belongs.

Do I have to wear something I made?

Not at all. There’s absolutely no pressure to wear handmade clothing. Whether you arrive in a self-made outfit or something from your closet, you’re equally welcome. Come as you are, enjoy the atmosphere, and be part of the conversation.
