Summary:"Black Girls Sew is a nonprofit organization committed to positively impacting its community through education in sewing, design, and entrepreneurship. Black Girls Sew is based in Brooklyn."--back cover.
"Black Girls Sew provides the tools, knowledge, and vocabulary to help young sewists take back their fashion narrative. Focusing primarily on basic sewing skills and design principals, Black Girls Sew helps readers learn to create one-of-a-kind looks and in the process grow more confident in expressing their own style. By encouraging them to follow their curiosity rather than telling them what to create, the book helps young fashionistas learn to take risks and explore creative play in their clothing design."--back cover.
