Wendy Tremayne–one of my blogging buddies–has founded a wonderfully creative and fun community re-use program: Swap-O-Rama-Rama

One will happen soon in St. Louis at the St. Louis History Museum.
When: Saturday, March 5, 2011 12:00 PM
Where: Missouri History Museum – 5700 Lindell Blvd St Louis MO

Don’t miss out on the third annual Swap-O-Rama-Rama at the Missouri History Museum! Join us for the ultimate community clothing swap and DIY upcycled clothing workshop!

Bring at least one bag of your unwanted (but clean!) clothes to contribute to the “store,” then dive in and find the treasures you would like to keep. You can take them home as is, or head into our “Modification Station” where volunteers with sewing machines will help you alter or transform your finds! Sewing notions will be provided.
