Philly Etsy Team at Swap-o-Rama-Rama

The Philly Sewing Collective's event today was by all accounts a success. Swap-o-Rama-Rama, a clothing swap which was held at the Old Pine Community Center, featured workshops, a fashion show, a dj and vegan baked goods by Baked and Miss Rachel's Traveling Fare.


Members of the Philly Etsy Team were there, leading some of the workshops on sewing and manning a team table where we gave out handmade goody bags to the first 100 people who signed up for our mailing list. The goody bags were filled with items which were donated by our team members. Swap-o-Rama-Rama was held as part of Design Philadelphia 2008.
