And here’s another round of door prizes! 🎁

We’re incredibly grateful to all of these businesses for contributing to Calgary Frocktails and helping us create a night full of fun, surprises and, of course, sewing inspiration.

Some have supported Frocktails before, while others are new to our event — and we’re delighted to have them all as part of this year’s celebration.

Thank you for supporting Calgary’s garment sewing community and helping make Frocktails such a fun night out! 🥂✨
