Stitch and Switch October 24th at Factory Two

Got clothes you're done with? Clean em and bring them in!

Stitch & Switch is a free clothing swap at Factory Two. Drop off whatever clean clothes you're not wearing and they go to the floor, free to whoever wants it. Walk out with something new to you.

Find something you love, but isn't just right? We'll have Seamstress/Seamsters and tailors on hand for basic alterations. They'll resize, mend, and embellish not ticket prices, but donation. If something almost fits or just needs a little love, they've got you.

Nothing sold. Nothing wasted. Just clothes finding people who'll actually wear them.

Fixed by Flint September 26

We're back! We're also looking at a permanent monthly schedule next year!

Got something broken? Bring it in.

Fixed By Flint is a free repair event at Factory Two where a crew of volunteers will take a crack at whatever you drag through the door. Instruments, vacuums, computers, mixers, power tools, yard tools, if it used to work and doesn't anymore, it's worth the trip.

The goal is zero dollars out of your pocket. We work with what we've got: parts on hand, the tools of the space, and a bunch of people who like to fix things. If we hit a wall and something truly needs a part we don't carry, we'll tell you what it is and where to find it. But that's not the plan.

No appointment. No fee. Show up and see what we can do

Hey all,

I'm working on a new idea for a community clothes swap and wanted some feedback from the community.

Ever since Mackelmore brought thrifting into the spotlight; they've kinda gone to crap. Prices shot up and finding decent clothes be came that much harder.

What if there was a clothes swap that cost nothing to participate in? That is to say an event where you could bring your clothes in that you're tired of, don't fit right because you lost weight, or just don't want anymore, drop them off, and find new duds without paying a cent.

What if said event had basic alterations avaliable for a donation/ nominal fee? Find a pair of pants you like but they're just too long? We could hem them. What if there was a few screen printing options available to give a little community pride or personalization to your new to you gear?

Would you use an event like this or know someone who would?
