WHAT IS A TOMATO DAY
Every year, the Durham Farmers’ Market celebrates tomatoes big and small with live music, on-site screen printing, dope T-shirts, and the freshest tomato haul you can imagine.
Makeshift Collective is contributing to the festivities with a raffle benefitting DFM’s Double Bucks program, and smorgasbord of tomato-themed crafts, both ready-made gifts and kits for you to make. See em all below ↓
STUDIO GABBA
Fried Green Tomato Hat
Show off your love for fried green tomatoes or your frazzled disposition. Both are good.
Hats are made to order.

Field Study: Tomato Love
Field Study is a seasonal weaving box built with tomatoes and beginners in mind. A perfect porch activity for the weaving-curious crafter, adventurous stitcher, or colorwork knitter.
Tomato Love includes 5 mini bobbins of Kelbourne Woolens Perennial, Swatch Looms, needles, and four original tomato-themed patterns.
BACONASTRO
Tomato Slice Pin
A tiny wool tomato slice, needle-felted down to the last seed and stabbed straight through with a pin (fyi your fit deserves something fresh.) Soft, fuzzy, and made of 100% wool, this pin is ready to slap on a denim jacket, hat, or tote bag.
