Swap & Stitch : Revive Your Wardrobe

Lets admit it. We all have too many clothes in our wardrobe. Only wearing a select few. So what about the rest? Too small? Damaged? Sentimental attachment?

So bring your ill-fitting, out-of-style, in need of repair, or unwanted clothes and give them a new life at our Swap and Stitch event! Whether you’re looking to refresh your wardrobe, learn new skills, or repair your favourite jeans, this event has something for everyone.

Here’s how it works:

Clothes Swap: Bring gently used clothing that you no longer wear. Swap them for something new-to-you and give your wardrobe a sustainable makeover.

Repair & Customising: Not ready to part with your clothes just yet? Bring your ill-fitting or damaged items and learn how to repair or customise them! Our skilled experts will be on hand to guide you through everything from simple repairs, visible/invisible mending, to creative customisations that will turn your clothes into one-of-a-kind pieces.

What to Bring:

Clothes you want to swap (gently used and in good condition)
Clothes in need of repair or alteration
A desire to learn and have fun!
Our skilled facilitators will be there every step of the way to teach and assist, ensuring that you leave with both “new to you” clothes and new skills.

This event is independent from but will be held on Fashion Revolution Week to raise awareness about the negative effects fast fashion has on our planet. For more information https://www.fashionrevolution.org/frw-25/
