Event Details

Cancelled: “Swap-O-Rama-Rama” DIY Workshop & Clothing Swap | Oakland

Please note, Swap-O-Rama-Rama is no longer taking place.

Swap-O-Rama-Rama is a nonprofit community clothing swap with a do-it-yourself workshop in which attendees explore the process of reuse and collective creativity together.

Every third Saturday of the month (except for May when they’re at the Maker Faire), they host a meetup where they encourage beginners to experts alike to come, bring clothes and ideas, and swap it like it’s hot. Share and learn ideas of how to repurpose anything and everything into clothing, home decor, and beyond.

Get together to stitch and bitch while you swap clothes and ideas. This month’s brisk autumn theme will be “Yarn.”

They’ll show you a special yarn upcycling DIY project: No-Knit “Freeform Lace” Scarves. Using yarn remants (and ribbon and scraps), water soluble stabilizer and a sewing machine, they’ll show you how to make a really cool fiber scarf without any knitting or crocheting.

Disclaimer: Please double check event information with the event organizer as events can be canceled, details can change after they are added to our calendar, and errors do occur.
