The organisers of the 21 March Frock Exchange 'swishing' event have been in touch with more information. Click on the image to the left to see the poster in detail.
Paula from Greenwich Community College explains:
We are partnering up with the Greenwich and Bexley Cottage Hospice Shop, sustainable fashion designer Inkeri Medley www.inkeri.co.uk who is based at Cockpit Arts and Mary Jane Baxter Millinery (Mary is an ex BBC Journalist who recycles lots of vintage fabrics, buckles and buttons on to her hats. She sells her hats at Harvey Nichols).
Greenwich and Bexley Hospice Retail shops ensure that none of their items end up in landfill. So there are some interesting groups adding to the mix on the day and all are on hand to give advice on the day of the Frock Exchange 12 noon until 4pm Saturday 21st March.
She adds:
Inkeri Medley is going to be running a two day workshop where you can learn, with the aid of a sewing machine, how to revamp an existing item of clothing. We are on a bit of a ‘make do and mend’ drive. Hence the principles of the Frock Exchange.
Once again, all this chimes perfectly with transition principles: Learning valuable new (or forgotten) skills to make us more self-reliant, saving money of course, and, not least, fun.
