One Person’s Trash is Another Persons Treasure

No Im not talking about those crazy garbage eating Freegans.


I was at a clothing swap this afternoon. It was very cool. Bascially people bring in bags of clothes they no longer use or want. Everything gets separated into piles and you can pick through thwm all and take home as much as you can carry. Some people get their entire wardrobe from these swaps. There were people with suitcases and shoppings carts full of cool stuff they they found.
In addition to the clothes they were different crafty workshops. Screenprinting, sewing, jewelry making.
I found some really fun stuff. Mostly T-shirts for a rug that Im making. Currently Im in the process of taking apart a knit sweater so that I can reuse the yarn and crochet something awesome out of it. I also took a pair of $3.00 skippies from K-mart and added some sweet nautical fabric. Im really excited about my finds. Be prepared for photos of stuff that I've made.
