Calling all fellow Recessionistas. Mrs Bear is proud to present and evening of “Make do
and Mend” madness! As well as a huge swapshop (bring up to 10 items),
our trusty dressmaker bear will be giving live demonstrations on how to mend
in minutes as well as hands on advice about alterations. You can pull up a pew and join the
“Stitch and Bitch” girls for some knitting, or
if you prefer, have a natter over a spot of cross-stitch. There will be all sorts of
haberdashery goodies on sale at reduced prices and you may even get lucky and
win on the Recessionista Raffle!

Step 2) Bring along your swaps to a Mrs Bear‘s event where they will be colour-graded for fair swaps. You will receive your own clothing ration book with your colour coded tokens for swapping.
Step 3) If you don’t manage to use up all your tokens you can keep your ration book for next time or take home your unwanted swaps - you choose!
With tough financial times ahead, Mrs Bear’s swapshops are themed on a World War II
“make do and mend” ethos. The idea being you can get rid of your unwanted clothing items
and swap them for someone else’s. Swapping your way to a new wardrobe at little cost to
you and the environment! It’s also aimed at re - gaining a sense of community whilst reducing
your carbon footprint.
