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. :)
