I’ve been doing a lot of spring cleaning of late. You know, getting rid of stuff you told yourself— REPEATEDLY— that you would do something with. But never did. Here’s your opportunity to dump, drink and make. Leslie writes:

Bring out your busted sewing projects, tired T-shirts, hideous hand-me-downsâ€”basically all the crappy clothes from your closet that you donâ€™t want anymore, or the stuff youâ€™ve been meaning to make awesomeâ€”for the ultimate happy hour of destruction, reconstruction, and social mixing!

You provide the scrap, weâ€™ll provide the beer, inspiration, crafting tools, and help from author-crafters Heather Ross and Kayte Terryâ€”plus special projects for purchase: ScrappliquÃ© undies, totebags, cards, jewelry boxes, picture frames, onesies and T-shirts (with that new T-shirt smell)!
