Bethany holds a BFA from Syracuse University (2008) in Costume Design. Her mother taught her to sew as a child, having come from a lineage of master dressmakers. Bethany Mae grew up collecting and later selling vintage clothing, consuming Vogue and replicating photoshoots for her Barbies.

She moved to Los Angeles in 2009, there working in the Film Industry as a hair and makeup artist simultaneously designing and making costumes for theaters.

At the end of 2018, Bethany moved back to Minneapolis and has been organizing events, teaching art through therapeutic techniques and hosting beginning sewing classes while also raising a beautiful child and connecting deeper with our mother earth.

Clothing Swap @ Nine Lives (with CAPI + U of M LEAD)

Date & Time:
Monday, April 27
5:00–7:00 PM

Location:
Nine Lives Thrift
1165 West 7th Street, St. Paul

Description:
We’re hosting a community clothing swap with a U of M LEAD student, Megan Egan + our new friends at CAPI — and you’re invited.

We’ll start at 5:00 with a little hang time while we sort what folks bring in (yes, you get to watch the magic happen). Then CAPI will share a bit about their work, and we’ll open up the swap.

How it works:
• Bring one bag of clean, ready-to-wear clothing
• Leave with a bag of new-to-you pieces
• All sizes, styles, and genders welcome

We really love when folks sign up ahead of time — it helps us make sure we’ve got a good mix of sizes and not just… 47 large black tops (you know who you are).

We’ll have light refreshments, good people, and a whole lot of “oh wait this is cute??” moments.

Come swap with us 💛

• Clothing + shoes included (yes, vintage too)

• No purses/bags or jewelry included in the sale

• Dressing rooms open (limited number of items at a time)
