Interested in upcycling and recycling, but can’t make the programs? Or, perhaps you have garment making skills to share? We’re gearing up for a showcase event around Earth Day in April. Ask how you can show your work, help out, share skills, or donate materials.
Looking for donations or loans of:
Mannequins/ Dress forms
Sewing machines
Clean and Interesting trash, especially repetitive items (think of your common recyclables, or things with nice patterns, “decorative” items, or things with fabric like qualities)
broken or otherwise unusable -but interesting!- jewelry and clothing
Sewing needles and thread
Hemming tape/ other adhesive
Hot glue sticks
Looking for people to share their skills and knowledge of:
Sewing (by hand or machine)
pattern making, garment construction
upcycling/ materials reuse
environmental impact of clothing industry
Or, share your time! Help organize our upcycling programs and/or the showcase event. Give me, Nike, Young Adult Librarian, a call at 860-434-1684 x116, or email ndesis@207.210.128.51
