Albany Community-wide Clothing Swap & Sew
Two awesome opportunities in one - clothing swap and fabric/textile repair!
The Swap: Bring your clean, usable, but no longer wanted used clothes and find some "new to you" clothes. Bring your friends and neighbors and one or more bags of your washed, gently worn items to our fabulous swap room where clothing will be set out by type (pants, shirts, dresses, etc.) and size! Choose items and take them home. We have mirrors, but no dressing rooms, so plan accordingly. Leftovers are donated to charity. All clothing sizes welcome!
The Sew: Bring fabric items you want to mend, your sewing machine (we will have one available if you don’t have one), and any sewing notions you need or want to donate (thread, buttons, patches, pins, etc. - again, we will have some.) Fixit Clinic (www.fixitclinic.org) coaches will be on hand with sewing machines and other tools to assist you repair your favorite fabric items, help reacquaint you with your sewing machine, and help you repair your non-working sewing machine (other broken household items are OK too.) Walk-ins are always welcome, but it helps to register in advance so the Fixit coaches know what to expect at http://goo.gl/qTzh9J
