Forget swine flu, it’s swapping fever that’s on the move across the country. First fruit and veg swaps, now clothes swaps, what next? Bring it on that’s all we can say! What more blissfully eco-way to find new-to-you clothes, and pass on clothes you no longer want, than an afternoon of clothes swapping?

Our friends have held a couple of clothes swap afternoons before, that we’ve unfortunately not been able to make, but now Sustainable Illawarra is hosting a community clothes swap event. It’s on Saturday 1st August at the beautiful new Community Centre in Thirroul (working on the Sustainable Illawarra team, it’s very exciting to see this event come to life!). If you live locally, hopefully we’ll see you there! (More details at http://www.sustainableillawarra.com.au/Whats-On.html).

We’re also inspired to also look at holding our own clothes swap session some time. There’s some great tips on hosting your own clothes swap with friends at http://www.lifeorganizers.com/cm_articles/16_organize_a_clothes_swap_189.html. And you could really open to it up to whatever you wanted. Have you ever been to a swap session, or are planning one? We’d love to hear about it!
