April Meeting: Claire Upcycled & Annual Swap!


 

Join us next week, Tuesday April 8 at 7 pm for our Earth Month Celebration meeting! (River Gardens Celebration Room, 10 Romeo St N.) Visitors welcome, $5 at the door, as always!

We will hear from Claire Upcycled, a Stratford based company with international reach. Claire will share some info about her process and her eco fashion, gender-neutral, streetwear upcycles. She will also share a bit about running her business.

After Claire's presentation, we will be holding our annual Fabric and Pattern swap. Same rules as always: bring things in good condition, label the type of fabric and amount when possible, take home anything you brought that isn't claimed by end of night. We will be swapping following our talk, no grazing beforehand please, to keep it fair for everyone.

See you all there!
