Have you heard about BIPOC MAKE-ALONG 2019?
My friend, Elisabeth from Desamour Designs, together with BIPOC Makers Project are hosting this BIPOC MAKE-ALONG 2019 event. Elizabeth has been a good friend and she’s one of my maker friends who encouraged and pushed me to start my own blog. She believes in me, in my craft skills and that is a big thing for me. Anyways, this is not about me so let’s continue! Elisabeth is a crochet designer and a social media marketer. It is her goal to spread her knowledge and share the joy of creating.
BIPOC Makers Project is a platform where BIPOC | POC makers get seen while being financially supported for their work. It is dedicated to highlighting and uplifting the work of Black, Indigenous and People of Colour in the fiber community.
Together, they teamed up to bring us this one-of-a-kind make-along! To learn more about these awesome people, please visit their websites here and here.
