3rd Annual Future Craft Collective Zilker Elementary Back-to-School Clothes Swap!!!
Saturday, August 28th
10am-2pm
Zilker Elementary School cafeteria
1900 Bluebonnet St.
Don’t shop! SWAP!!!
Bring what you can. Take what you need.
We’ll have mountains and mountains of clothing, jackets, backpacks and shoes all sorted by size and gender.
ALL SIZES!!! From infant to adult.
We’ll have silk screening and sewers too ready to make your garments one-of-a-kind!
Why back to school shop, when you can back to school SWAP???!!!
This is a community wide event so tell your friends. Bring your bags! And let’s help our kids learn how to declare their own amazing style.
If you’d like to volunteer, contact us at futurecraftcollective@gmail.com. We need sewers, sorters, and more! Or just show up and help.
(If you’ve got nothing to get rid of, come anyway! There is MORE than enough for everyone!!!)
And if you want to hold a clothes swap at your own school, you can read the tutorial here!
Free. With a $2.00 suggested donation at the door to benefit the Zilker Green Team

Shopping is GREAT if it’s local. Especially if it’s local and handmade! And at Moxie on the Compound right here in Austin, TX!!!

Sounds AMAZING!!! Is there an age range that this is most suited for? I have a 2 year old and a 15 month old.

My girls and I were at this event this past weekend. I was so blessed to have walked away with clothing for all my children. Even a few pieces for myself (hehehehe). They got everything, clothes, shoes, hats, purses, jewelry, baby booster seat, and more. Thank you so much for organizing this event. We are so grateful.

How do you go about organizing an event like this? It seems super great, especially for a time when the economy is suffering and causing the nation to suffer.
