Fabric Swap at Edendale

Fabric Swap at Edendale

Bring up to 5 fabric items to swap!


Description

A fabric swap is the perfect opportunity to give your unwanted fabric a second life while discovering "new to you" materials for your creative projects. This sustainable event helps reduce textile waste by keeping fabric out of landfills and encourages sharing within the community.

Bring along good-quality fabric pieces (minimum size: 1m x 1m, no rips or tears) and exchange them for something that inspires your next sewing or crafting adventure. It's more than just swapping fabric-it's a chance to connect with like-minded individuals, share ideas, and embrace sustainable practices in a fun, social setting.

Refresh your stash, find unique treasures, and contribute to a more eco-friendly world!


What do I bring?

Bring up to 5 lengths of fabric that you no longer want but would be happy to lend to your friend  (good condition - no rips or tears please). You can bring any fabric or design just please make sure it is at least 1 metre long by 1 metre wide. The small fee we ask is to go towards paying for staff time on the day. When you drop them off at a table on site you will be able to swap or exchange them straight away, no need to wait.


How will the event run?

We ask participants to first register interest, then on the day drop your fabric off at the Mummery Education room and pick up some new fabric at the same time. The fabric exchange will run from 11:30am - 1pm. 

Event partner of the NSF 2025.
