This has got to be the first, but hopefully not the last GG task where we have had pizza cooked for us on arrival!
The legend that is Jess Dawson, mastermind behind Common Thread despite having very little sleep after a missed flight connection was still flying in top form giving us the low down on clothes sorting in preparation for the next Common Thread event.
Common Thread clothes exchanges happen regularly and encourage people to avoid the fast fashion and instead swap their clothes with others to better serve each others wardrobes and wares. A fantastic idea, which should be done in more places.
There was plenty to sort, from shoes, to accessories and clothes for all occasions, shapes, sizes and colors!
We got through a lot of bags in our time at Union St which is the venue that hosts Common Thread.
We'll be back again for more next month.
Until next time, happy running! :)
