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 socialize while you swap clothes and ideas. The January 2015 theme will be “Upcycled Sweater Owl Pillows.” Bring your unwanted, clean clothing to swap with others – as well as sweaters, upholstery samples and other bits of trim, lace and whatnot to create your own plush owl buddy.

Bring: Clothes to swap, any supplies you’d like for the DIY project, and a friend.

Provided: Some sweaters, stuffing, upholstery samples, bits of leather (for beaks), sewing machines and all the tools you need.

Food and beverage are always encouraged so if you can, bring a finger food to share… They’ll have an ice cold water cooler on hand.

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.
