Swap it, fix it, remix it! An afternoon of fashion, creativity and second chances. Bring clothes to swap, something to repair, or an old piece you want to transform into something totally new.

Clothes swap
Bring your fashion faves that you’ve outgrown and swap them for something fresh! Here’s how:

· Bring up to 5 awesome, gently-loved clothes, shoes or accessories (no small children’s clothes, please).

· Drop them at the swap stall

· Hunt for your next signature look.

Mending machine
Pedal, stitch, create!

Check out the one-of-a-kind bike powered sewing machine. Hop on, start pedalling, and watch your energy bring clothes back to life! The Mending Machine turns repair into something fun, creative, and totally hands-on, proving that fixing your clothes can feel just as exciting as buying something new.

Bring something to repair on the day or jump on the Mending Machine to create your own mini phone bag from salvaged fabric.

Upcycling Station
Come get creative at our hands-on Upcycling Station. Bring along a T-shirt, jeans, jacket, tote bag or any piece you’d love to refresh and personalise.

Denim Feather Activity:
Transform old denim into beautiful feather creations while discovering the hidden story behind a pair of jeans. Did you know denim can reveal different colours and textures depending on the direction you cut it? Come experiment and create your own unique feather from salvaged fabric!

Creative Customisation Corner:
Use stamps to creatively cover stains, add buttons, experiment with simple hand sewing, and personalise your clothes with fun details that make them feel new again.

No sewing experience needed – just curiosity, creativity, and a willingness to try something new.

Free sausage sizzle.

This event is run in partnership with Care to Rewear. Together, we’re giving young people in Canning the tools and inspiration to rethink fast fashion — one swap, stitch and upcycle at a time.
