We had a lovely evening at the Clothes Swap at Harpur Hill Village Hall yesterday evening, met some nice people, got some excellent swaps, enjoyed a brew and a chat. So much more fun than online shopping! With thanks to our volunteers thats it for Clothes Swaps this year, but we will be back with more and on 12 February we are offering a Stitch Don't Ditch Sewing Workshop in the same venue - see you there.
