Refashion Fair at Janesville's Hedberg Public Library


Link to September 14 Janesville Gazette article.

Excerpt: From 1:30 to 4:30 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 20, the Hedberg Public Library will host its first "Refashion Fair."

The program will consist of three elements: a "demo drive," "inspiration point" and "clothing swap circle."

The demo drive will feature demonstrations on how to "repurpose"—reuse and renew—old items, said Linda Belknap, library adult services associate

There will be fabric dying demonstrations, T-shirt embellishment ideas, no-sew bandana totes, fabric punching, basic jewelry and beading techniques and a variety of other crafty presentations.

"We're going to have demonstrations from quite a range of skill levels, from no-sew to highly artistic," Belknap said.
