Community Events
Rumana from @thelittlepomegranate and the Great British Sewing Bee started a sewing hashtag this week that I want you all to check out - #sewincolor. Woman of color are under-represented in our sewing community in magazines, pattern photos, roundups, and, well….pretty much everywhere! Our community is big and beautiful and so diverse - let’s try to celebrate and represent that more. Share this photo on your social media to help bring awareness to this so we can all celebrate WOC who sew and show that we want more diversity! See Rumana's original post here.
