Exeter Clothes Swap!

Hi All!

Exeter Clothes Swap is taking place on August 8th 11.00 till 15.00 at St Sidwells Centre, Sidwell St, Exeter.

In the UK we throw away 1 million tonnes of old clothes and textiles each year. Over 7.5 billion articles of clothing go into our dustbins every year, with most ending up in landfill.
A clothes swap is an affordable, ethical way to unclutter and overhaul your wardrobe, it's also more social and a lot more fun than trawling round High Street shops.

How it works!
* When the swap opens, whatever people take is theirs
* Everybody must bring at least one item but can leave with as many as they like

There will also be Make do and Mend Stall where you can customise clothes (or bring some to be patched up), and a Knitting Stall where you can learn to knit, or knit a square of a blanket to be donated to charity groups. Also there will be teas/cakes by donation and other stalls/activities to be confirmed closer to the time.

We are holding a meeting this Thursday July 30th at 6.00 in the cafe at Exeter Picturehouse to finalise the event and publicity etc. If you would like to help out on the day, have a stall, or have any ideas, please come along! And get checking your wardrobe for clothes you're not wearing anymore!
