PaTcHwOrK, OC’s premier festival for independent, locally made goods, is returning Sunday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. in Santa Ana, and it’s even bigger and better this year. At this great indie craft fair you can shop from more than 75 vendors selling high quality, unique items from clothing to home goods and local honey and chocolate! Harveys is making seatbelt bookmarks for the event, KUCI is going solar, and there are DIY booths, doggie portraits, a bike valet, live screen printing and much more.
Each vendor is hand-selected by Delilah Snell, owner of the fabulous Road Less Traveled (hands down our favorite eco-friendly store). 2204 North Main St. in Santa Ana.
