Fabric Swap & Sewcial!

Ready to do some destashing and/or get some fabric that's new to you? Come to our fabulous Fabric Swap! Go through your fabric and see what you'd like to give to another sewist.

Please label your fabric, note the yardage and fiber content (cotton, wool, rayon, poly, a blend, etc.). Sort your fabric by type: wovens, knits, silk, home dec, etc. so you can quickly put them in the appropriate area. We will have tables that will be labeled. If you don't know the fiber content, don't worry. We'll have a "mystery fabric" area for material of unknown origin.
The fabric swap has four selection rounds. For each piece of fabric you get to participate in one selection round. For example, if you brought at least three pieces of fabric, you get to select one piece of fabric for the first three rounds. The last round is open to all!
The actual fabric swap part doesn't take very long (about 15 minutes) so we'll also have time to sewcialize before and after the swap.
IMPORTANT: If your fabric is not taken by anyone, you may need to take it back unless the library's crafting area can take it. Otherwise, some people may need to take the fabric and donate it to SCRAP.
