At the 2010 Chicago Swap-O-Rama-Rama

A second successful Swap O Rama Rama ran this weekend at Chicago Waldorf School in the city's Rogers Park neighborhood and drew participants of all ages. The 3-day DIY workshop series and clothing swap included several creative stations featuring activities using recycled and repurposed fashion and textiles, including knitting, sewing stations, recycled legwarmers, ipod cozies, batik, fabric painting, tie dye, embroidery and beading. A repurposed fashion show kicked off the event Friday night.
