what's a clothing swap? a clothing swap is an event where clothes and accessories are traded (aka swapped). it's the perfect opportunity to say goodbye to clothes that no longer spark joy - giving your unloved pieces a 2nd life!

*please arrive between 11-11:30am to set up. (clothing racks and hangers will be provided) swapping will begin at 12pm. 

how it works: bring up to 10 CLOTHING ITEMS to swap. to keep things manageable, we kindly ask that everyone sticks to this limit – no exceptions, please!

when it comes to accessories like jewelry, scarves, handbags, and shoes, bring as many as you like! there's no need for tickets for swapping accessories.

all items must be in excellent condition – no stains, tears, or holes, and they should be freshly laundered and fully functional. think of it as sharing quality pieces you'd happily gift to a friend.

for each item you bring, you'll receive a ticket, which you can then use to exchange for a new item. it's that simple!

ANYTHING UNCLAIMED MUST GO BACK HOME WITH YOU.

workshop details: in this workshop, you’ll learn the art of sashiko stitching—a traditional japanese technique used for both repair and decorative embellishment. led by tamara, the face behind smallwood studios, this session will guide you through the process of transforming your denim, cotton, or linen piece (any non-stretch woven fabric) with beautiful hand-stitching.

each participant will receive a take-home kit with everything needed to continue stitching after class, including:

• a properly sized needle
• your choice of sashiko thread color
• precision snips (scissors)
• fabric scraps from rifle paper co. and solid fabrics for patching
• fusible interfacing for reinforcement

during the workshop, you’ll have access to sashiko stencils, thimbles, chalk pencils, and washable pens to design your stitches. tamara will teach the foundational techniques, then provide one-on-one guidance to help bring your project to life. an ironing station will be available for those incorporating interfacing.

whether you're looking to mend a beloved garment or add unique stitched details, this workshop is a perfect way to slow down, stitch with intention, and create something meaningful.
