"I'm in a dress, I have gel in my hair, I haven't slept all night, I'm starved, and I'm armed! Don't... mess with me!" 🔫👠

Crafty Cinema Canberra is back for another round, and this time we're going undercover with Miss Congeniality — FBI agent, reluctant beauty queen, and proof that you can throw a punch and rock a sash in the same afternoon.

If you've ever wished you could take your knitting, crochet, embroidery, sewing, or other crafty obsession to the cinema without losing sight of it every time the lights go down, we've got you covered. Our events feature dimmed lighting so you can keep creating while enjoying the movie.

Join us for a cosy Sunday afternoon filled with crafting, questionable disguises, one-liners for the ages, and enough sequins to make even the judges at Miss United States jealous.

So grab your project, bring your crafty mates, or take yourself on a crafty date, and settle in for an arvo of laughs, craft, and a little escape from the real world. That's what I call a win-win.
