Somerville Swap-a-Rama!

This weekend is the super cool Sew What!?! Fashion, art, shopping event in Union Square. Could someone please go and take pictures? We’ll be out of town.
In their own words:
Why Swap
Swap-O-Rama-Rama utilizes the existing surplus of clothing to create new-recycled goods. In d.i.y spirit, through workshops and the collectivizing of ideas, it helps each individual break down the barrier between consumer and creator while inviting all to reclaim the creativity that has been lost to industry.
Through hands-on experience, Swap-O-Rama-Rama invites the discovery that the making of things is not an activity to be avoided in order to attain leisure, but rather a playful and leisurely endeavor unto itself.
