Fibre Field Studies: Looking at our local second-hand/waste stream cloth ecology
Urban Cloth Reclamation
Tuesday March 3 7-9pm
Value Village 1820 East Hastings meet at front of shop
Free – registration required –
Join Amy and Sharon for an informal cruise of the Value Village aisles. Let’s look together for garments that make good candidates for refashioning- either as a cloth harvest or for pattern hacking. This is an excellent opportunity to learn how to scout a thrift shop if garment hacking for patterns, yarn harvests or reading fibre labels is a mystery for you. Participants are responsible for making their own purchases.
….more Fibre Field Study trips to be announced.
