Behind the Seams: Clothing Swap and Mending Event

Join us for a community-driven textile event! Bring your gently used clothing to swap, repair your favorite pieces at our mending station, convert your favorite skinny jeans to bell bottoms, and donate old textiles to support local animal shelters. Whether you're looking to refresh your wardrobe, extend the life of your clothes, or help furry friends stay cozy, there's something for everyone!

EVENT STATIONS:

SWAP: Drop in to our first ever clothing swap, hosted by the Chaya Movement! Bring gently used fall-winter season clothing items (tops, bottoms, dresses, shoes, scarves, suits, work out wear, etc.). Adult sizes only, gender inclusive. You can bring items by the Wednesday before from 5:30-8pm or an hour prior to start time the day of!

MENDING: The Remakery is hosting two stations! Remakery instructors will walk you through the easy mending steps, provide tools, equipment, fabric and thread to mend or modify your items.

>>Learn how to do visible mending for small patch jobs.

>>Skinny jeans not your thing anymore? Bring those still fitting jeans and turn them into bell bottoms! Remakery is providing fabric, quilt squares, and other fun ways to fill that section.

TEXTILE REPURPOSE: Have old sheets or towels you don’t think humans could use? Bring them in, we are collecting these clean textiles for donation to animal rescue organizations.

It is not necessary to show tickets at the time of the event. This is a way to make sure we have enough space and materials for all who want to attend, and to communicate with those interested.
