\"Bags

What:<\/strong> The Sweatshop, a partnership with Etsy, Bags for the People, and BurdaStyle<\/p>\n

When:<\/strong> Saturday, July 18th, 1-6 p.m.<\/p>\n

Where:<\/strong> 303 Grand Revolving Storefront, Williamsburg<\/p>\n

Why:<\/strong> It\u2019s high time that more than the fashion-prone gather for a meeting among designing minds. This is a call for all pattern lovers, seamstresses, budding tailors, and well, anyone who likes the environment. Regardless of what your hands and feet can do with a vintage Singer, the Sweatshop says it\u2019s meant to be a fun social soir\u00e9e for a good cause.<\/p>\n

This Saturday, Street Attack\u2019s revolving storefront will turn into a party space for people who sew and those who wish they could. In an effort to be the change they wished to see in others, three New York-based friends\u2014Megan Talley, Glenn Robinson, and Kelly Martin\u2014started Bags for the People as an alternative resource to help Union Square Market shoppers ditch plastic bags in favor of their free self-designed and eco-friendly recycled fabric ones.<\/p>\n

Now, in collaboration with famed Etsy DIY-ers, and the open source sewing community through BurdaStyle, Bags for the Peoples\u2019 pay it forward initiative is providing sewing machines, free drinks, food, and rockin\u2019 music while you sew. In exchange for your presence, you\u2019ll take home your very own Charlie Bag courtesy of BurdaStyle. Whether you\u2019re a skilled seamstress, a budding homemaker, or just out to support a good environmental cause, this is a great indoor event (and break from the mugginess). And, when we see your bag over your shoulder we\u2019ll know that you support the green movement like we do.<\/p>\n

Cost: <\/strong>Free<\/p>\n
