Our Social Fabric

Mission

We are a network of makers, doers, fixers, and changers. We want to make lasting connections, improve our skills (and ourselves), and create a new ecosystem for all makers to learn, explore, and grow. We honor the work of those who came before us, and we amplify the voices of women and BIPOC who continue to pave the way for a more inclusive future. Rich in fiber and made with love, the Making app is a place for every maker - from knitters to sewists, beginners to experts, and downright wholesome human beans. :)

We want to grow together and embrace diversity. Here at Making, we’re creating an environment of kindness complimented with radical empathy.

In this space we believe:

  • Black Lives Matter

  • BIPOC are empowered and deserve a voice

  • All bodies are beautiful regardless of ability

  • Food security is a human right

  • Climate justice is racial justice

  • Abolishing the Prison Industrial Complex is racial justice

  • Feminism is intersectional

  • People of faith are respected

  • The LGBTQ+ community is celebrated

  • Gender is a spectrum

  • Women are powerhouses with bodily autonomy

  • Immigrants enrich our culture and deserve proportional opportunities

  • The Earth needs to be respected and protected

  • Accessibility, equitability, and sustainability are top priorities

  • We must lead with kindness and compassion

The act of making is our needle — stitching common threads from our past into the present and through the future — the patchwork of our lives enriched by each and every stitch. Let’s build this community together piece by piece and make a space for every maker!
