Swap Shop Sew is a community event providing an alternative & sustainable approach to fighting back against fast fashion.
Swap Shop Sew is a sustainable fashion event, bringing together these 3 solutions to provide a fun alternative to excessive consumption & environmental devastation, allowing citizens to take action where governments and CEO’s have not. The event brings together three elements of sustainable fashion in one event: swapping clothes with others, shopping from local creative ethical businesses, and sewing damaged clothing back together again through garment repair and upcycling techniques.
The most sustainable garment is that which you already own.
Swap Shop Sew provides solutions for extending the longevity of clothing within the community: A slow fashion framework.
Attending Swap Shop Sew provides you with the opportunity to make a difference and connect with others in the community around the stories of our clothing. By supporting a small local creative business, or learning garment repair skills to care for the clothing you still love to wear, Swap Shop Sew provides the framework for our clothing to be shared and celebrated.
We want Swap Shop Sew to be the go-to sustainable fashion framework for ethical community events around the country. We need you to support Swap Shop Sew so we can invest host venues, durable rails, signage, marketing materials and promotion to help us shout about and continue our work and to help and inspire other communities take action to share and enjoy their collective clothing. Your support is helping Swap Shop Sew be an alternative to fast fashion. Be part of making a difference.
