Clothing Swap

Recycle those clothes! Your tired ‘ol fashion might be someone else’s ideal ensemble!
Have a bunch of clothes you’re tired of looking at or don’t fit anymore? Have your kids grown out of their play clothes?

Come to Pack Library on Tuesday night for an hour long clothing swap party! Bring clean clothes/shoes/accessories to set out on tables, we’ll provide snacks and beverages, and let the swapping begin.

The following week we have a mending workshop, so if you see something you like, but want to raise the hem, add a zipper, sew on a patch, bring it to the workshop and we’ll work on making that swap into fashion perfection!

Registration is required so we know how many tables to set up.
All ages of clothing and people are welcome.
