Swap A Rama

I had a blast last weekend at Swap A Rama. I made a hat and learned basic sewing on a machine!! I only got to go to the second day due to work but it was more than worth it.



Swap A Rama is a two day DIY craft fair started by Wendy Tremayne.
It brings together professional artist/designers who teach participants how to:
Make Hats
Do Natural Dyeing
Silk Screen
Do Embroidery
Make T-Shirt Scarves
Make Handbags
Basic Sewing on Machines (Assisted and DIY)



To participate you bring a bag of unwanted clothes/fabric/shoes in usable condition and pay a "suggested donation" (20 dollars) which mean you can pay whatever you can =()!
It is a traveling fair so you can register to host one in your city.
You can go here to find out about upcoming events
