Swap O Rama- Rama Chicago



This sounds so cool! I would definitely be going to this if I didn't have my dad's wedding this weekend. If you end up going, definitely let me know how it was. This sounds like a great idea!
Swap-O-Rama-Rama
Sat 3/29 (10AM) at AV-aerie 2000 W. Fulton St. , Chicago, IL (Map)


The national phenomenon known as Swap-O-Rama-Rama comes to Chicago! Trade in your rags for someone else's and learn ways to make new fashions out of old ones. Like they say, one person's ripped jeans is another's handbag...
Get rid of your old clothes and take home some "new" stuff! Bring a bag of garments to trade and/or transform into wearable fashions and accessories. The Swap-O-Rama-Rama instructors will teach you techniques for creating treasure out of trash through workshops on embroidery, silkscreening, jewelry making, hand bags and more. All proceeds go to Three Sisters Park's new folk art school, the AV-aerie and Swap-O-Rama-Rama.
The event ends at 5 p.m.
Cost: $20 donation plus bag of clothes
