Project Description

Black Girl's Sew is a 501C3 nonprofit.   Its mission is to offer the tools needed to create a more fashionable future, and the organization focuses on teaching fundamental life skills through the design process. Black Girls Sew was created in 2013 and is based in Bedstuy Brooklyn, New York.

Home Economics and Lifeskills programs have been removed from most NYC schools.  SEW BK-NYC will act as a catalyst for change to provide these skills once again. 

Black Girl's Sew will continue to offer monthly sustainable sewing classes for adults, Sew Green Fashion Camp for the youth. With an increased mobility for additional programming. 

We are seeking funding for :

Transit style van $50,000

Classroom conversion $25,000

Sewing equipment $10,000

Licenses, insurance & Parking $15,000
