Hi Amber, I have envisioned this as outreach, since the acts of crafting/making can help students (I work for an academic library) with anxiety and stress, and the sustainability part I think is often left out of the conversation around crafting. I plan to work the event into our earth day planning (we do extensive programming around this at my library) as part of the greater conversation on sustainability, the environment, and slow fashion. Does that make sense? I'm still working out the kinks of this idea.
