RED HAT STITCH-IN
In solidarity with Minneapolis and the fight against ICE, we are joining the local small business Needle & Skein in their craftivist initiative to raise funds for their community.
Gather with our community to stitch this historic red hat as an act of resistance and in support of local aid in Minneapolis.
This event is free to attend, you just need to buy the $5 pattern and BYO yarn!
During our event, we’ll be raising funds to support our local Providence immigrant community. 100% of the proceeds will be donated to Dorcas International.
Hosted by local textile artist Keelin Maloney
