Switch craft
Know all that money you spent on fabric for all those awesome clothes you were going to sew but never did? And all those beads and miscellaneous materials you bought, trying to harness you inner Martha? Well, get those boxes of yardage out of the closet – it’s time to unload your gear at the Fabric Swap Meet Saturday (April 23) at the Ralph Thornton Centre (765 Queen East) from 2 to 4 pm. Price your goods, then shop or talk shop with like-minded crafters. Anything that doesn’t get sold can go back home with you or be donated to charity. Non-perishable food items will also be accepted for the Daily Bread Food Bank . Can’t transport your goods? Call Annika at 416-778-6318 for help.
