We need a dozen for every room

I took up embroidery about two years ago, and real talk, it’s hard AF. I’ve come across amazing feminist stitching patterns many times that I wanted to try to make, but ended up too intimidated to give it a shot. Luckily, a quick Etsy search reveals thousands of choices, all made by talented small business owners. So you can get your feminism on and support crafty women at the same time.

This is what 2018 needs, ladies. This will be our year.

If combining feminism, crafts, and the best 4-letter word of all is your jam, keep it simple with this “feminist as fuck” needlepoint.
