We believe in the power of bringing people together to socialize and create something special using our love for crafting. That’s why in moments of injustice we know that it’s our company’s responsibility to stand up for what’s right. To show our support for the #StopAsianHate movement against the rising violence towards the AAPI community here in the United States we dedicated one of our workshops to educate on this very important topic. With our Embroider Your Own Garment X #StopAsianHate we wanted to highlight Hollaback!, an organization dedicated to providing free anti-harassment training to help with bystander intervention. Our team found the bystander intervention training to be invaluable and we urge you to sign up for one of their free sessions here. 10% of our proceeds from our workshop went toward Hollaback!
