The Whole Nine Yards: Swap-O-Rama Rama

I had never heard of Swap-o-rama rama until today. It is a clothing swap and series of do-it-yourself workshops in which a community explores creative reuse through the recycling of used clothing.

When you attend the swap, you bring at least one bag of your unwanted clothing and a small donation. Your clothes get thrown into a pile with everyone who attends and you get to grab out new items. After which you slide over to the sewing stations and attend a DIY workshop. After all is said and done, you are invited to take a spin down the runway in your fabulous finds.

They have events happening all over the US at different times of the year. Keep checking back to see when they will make it to your neck of the woods. If you aren't one for waiting, you have the option to Start A Swap Near You.
