BLACKER FRIDAY: Welcome to our special BLACKER FRIDAY episode! Black Women Stitch recognizes the structural inequities that disproportionally impact black women, girls, and femmes. The wage/income gap for Black women is a staggering example of how racism and sexism combine to do harm.

In this episode, we center the voices of Black women makers as they talk about their work. So. When you’re shopping next week for Black Friday, Small Business Saturday, and Cyber Monday, remember these creative ventures and #payblackwomen by Stitch Please

Stitching Truth to Power: Quilting and White Fragility: The Social Justice Sewing Academy (SJSA) is a youth art project founded by Sara Trail in 2017. SJSA helps young people create quilt art that reflects their reality and hopes about the most pressing social issues of our time. SJSA will exhibit quilts at the National Quilt Museum in Paducah, KY from January 10 to March 10, 2020. The museum also invited SJSA to contribute a quilt block for their ongoing Block of the Month challenge. Each block reflects a museum exhibit. When the SJSA block was posted to the Block of the Month Facebook page on January 1st, the reaction swiftly revealed that white fragility is widespread in quilting, sewing, and maker spaces. Lisa analyzes this reaction and shares action steps to support the SJSA's young artists (including a chance for a free printout on her favorite foundation paper!). by Stitch Please

Stitch Please Swatches: Holiday Swatches Vol 4: Welcome back stitchers! We are sew excited to bring you a new tradition to the Stitch Please Podcast: Holiday Swatches. A fabric swatch is a small sample of fabric that allows you to visualize a project before cutting into yardage. Swatches are useful for sewing because they help us match fabrics, guide fabric prep, and prevent waste. Most importantly, if cultivated, swatches can become an archive of your creativity. This swatch series is here to celebrate the stitch please community by hearing from you all. For the month of December we will be sharing Holiday Sewing Traditions. In the final edition of 2023 we hear all about New Years Eve dresses, some adorable ideas for advent calendars (it's never to early to start!), the importance of a thoughtful gift and Eid! A special thank you to Ashley Chapman, Kya Lee, Ellie L, Olugbemisola Rhuday-Perkovich and Zahiyya Abdul-Karim for sharing their stories this week! by Stitch Please
