DIY COUTURE COACH FOR The SWAP Team

SWAPPing is the new shopping this Saturday & Sunday July 28th & 29th at Place Des Arts
I've been involved with the SWAP team for the past 5 years & some, I've always been on the design side of the swap so it was only natural for me to transform into their official DIY Couture Coach, the go-to person for all things, sewing,tailoring & upcycling.
 What does that mean?
You can contact me by email at nicole@theswapteam.org for any suggestions or questions regarding Upcycling,altering or re-styling your newly SWAPPED clothes.
It means you have direct contact with an experienced Fashion Designer(13 years) & Professional Seamstress/Tailor (23 years) to ask all of those questions to.
It's all about taking collaborative exchange & always making it stronger & more connected.
I will have a table at the next event on Saturday 28th (only), so after you've swapped all you precious pieces come by & chat with me.

J'ai été impliqué avec l'équipe de SWAP pour les 5 dernières années et certains, j'ai toujours été du côté de conception de l'échange et il était donc naturel pour moi de traduire dans leur entraîneur officiel de bricolage Couture, le go-to personne pour toutes choses, la couture, la confection et upcycling.
  Qu'est-ce que ça veut dire?
Vous pouvez me contacter par courriel à nicole@theswapteam.org pour toutes suggestions ou des questions concernant Upcycling, modifier ou re-styling vos vêtements nouvellement échangés.
Cela signifie que vous avez un contact direct avec un créateur de mode expérimenté (13 ans) & Professional Couturière / Tailleur (23 ans) de demander à toutes ces questions à.
C'est une question de la prise d'échanges collaboratifs et toujours le rendant plus fort et plus connecté.
Je vais avoir une table lors du prochain événement le samedi 28 (seulement), donc après que vous avez échangé tous les morceaux que vous venez en précieux et chatter avec moi.
