About

Here's a double whammy event that can help you build a more sustainable, ethical wardrobe. First up, Nina Gbor, eco stylist and sustainable fashion advocate, shares her creativity in this special session where she re-styles a little black dress in ten different ways, to ensure you get the most out of your wardrobe. Then, directly afterwards, we'll be swapping clothes so that you can pass on the good clothes you no longer need, and choose new-to-you items to give your wardrobe a spring refresh. Swapping aims to reduce waste, divert textiles from landfill and is great fun too!

Arrive by 9.30am to register and check in your clothes (bring up to eight good, useable items that you would be happy to give to a friend, no shoes or kids clothes). We'll offer you a light morning tea, and then you can take your seat by 10am to watch Nina as she restyles on stage. Around 11am, the swapping will start!

We have listed three ticket prices and you can choose which one you purchase. There is no reserved seating, no concession price and no children's price. The differing prices simply reflect your level of support for Thread Shed and not where your seat will be or who will occupy that seat. If you choose the $15 and $20 options, we are especially thankful.

This event is supported by Armidale Regional Council and the Armidale Uniting Church. It is brought to you by Thread Shed Armidale, a volunteer-led organisation promoting upcycling to reduce textiles waste and skills sharing while building community.
