Meet me at the the world’s largest clothing swap, SWAP O RAMA RAMA! Join in the communal process of reuse and celebrate our collective creativity! We offer a series of do-it-yourself workshops in which a community explores reuse and creativity through the recycling of used clothing. At SORR, consumers are taught to be creators/re-creators!
The past five years, I have taught various “Re-Make-Fashion” workshops, such as last year’s “Slash Revival“. This year, I’ll be a “Sewing Guru”! I’m there to help you complete your recycled fashion visions, one-on-one, in the Swap-O-Rama-Rama Sewing Lounge. We have around 20 sewing machines for you to work on! It is timed, and there is sometimes even a wait-line, so you’ll need your project ready-to-sew before heading to the machines. And by the time you leave it will be ready-to-wear! But fyi, it’s not required that you complete a project day-of, you can also take it home to finish! It might also just be the perfect opportunity to learn to sew on a machine. I’ll show you how it’s set up- threaded and some simple stitches. Where you go with this skill is up to you but if you want, soon you’ll be repairing or even re-making your own clothing which could save not only your money but precious natural resources-a-plenty. If you’re not quite sure what you would like to make, no worries. There are loads of Up-cycle workshops to get inspiration from! We’d love to give you some ideas and of course you are free to come with your own!! Don’t forget some clothing-swap donations if you have them. We love clothing donations! If you can’t get them to us. . .whatever you do, don’t throw ’em in the dump! You could have your own swap/party with friends. You could also take it to a second-hand shop, if it’s still wearable. Or, a clothing recycling bin. They are out there! For my own purposes, a stained shirt, blown out pair of pants, or even mis-matched socks with holes could have another use besides land-fill space…which is absolutly a non-use! On the contrary, those destroyed garments could be transformed into a rug, if not a ‘couture’ dress~
Re-Make Fashion///TRASHion Show
Saturday 5 pm!
check out the stellar loose thread crew backstage at the Exploratorium Trashion Show last year…
If you do make it to the faire…and are interested in modeling something in the show, just grab me and let me know! I might have some un-filled looks to show. No weight/height requirements, or even gender! Just looking for fun-lovin souls who wanna dance and play on stage:) *Also, if you come early enough to create your own TRASHion look at the Swap-O-Rama-Rama tent, you may be selected to show in the Trashion Show– We love to feature you, the participants…I’m looking forward to seeing what people come up with this year 🙂
post-show bliss:)
