About this Swap...

Bring a bag of unwanted clothing and a small donation ($20 or what you can afford). Your bag will be added to the swap pile. Everyone is welcome to take a little or a lot from the swap pile while working on swap items.


If you know what you'd like to do with your swap selections, move over to one of the work areas and dive right in! We'll have tables and tools available (or you can bring your own basic sewing tools) to transform your new/used duds. Swap-O-Rama-Rama (SORR) instructors and volunteers will be available to help with the basics and demonstrate some trendy new techniques for transforming "fiber trash" into wearable treasure. In need of inspiration? Browse our artist area to see what others have created, or ask a SORR instructor for an idea. We're always available to offer our opinion!
