Did you know that Austin throws 18,000 pounds of textiles in the landfill EVERY SINGLE DAY???
Did you know that when we work together we can get what we need and want AND help the earth too?
Join us at the Texas Farmers’ Market at LAKELINE. Bring your cast-off garments. Bring that thing you love but never wear and tweak it for yourself or add it to the piles of sorted clothing. Swap it. Patch it. Change it. Talk to our stitchers just waiting to help you re-style the perfect garment or make it yourself in collaboration with this amazing community!
