Sew Natural Dane is encouraging the sewing community to sew patterns designed by Black Pattern Designers.
Her website contains a huge list of current Black Pattern Designers and other black owned sewing businesses.

What is #BHMPatternDesigners?
The Black History Month Pattern Designer Challenge (#BHMPatternDesigners) was established in February 2019 by Nateida of SewNaturalDane. Nateida decided to created this challenge due to the lack of representation she saw in the sewing community that highlighted Black Pattern Designers, as well as black owned fabric companies and knitting designers. February is Black History Month in the United States and it’s also Nateida’s birthday month!
I have a huge back catalogue of sewing patterns so looked through them to discover I have 10 Khaliah Ali patterns from when she designed through Simplicity. So I'm hoping to sew something (I'm not sure what yet) from one of those.
I love sewing wardrobe collections and have always been attracted to patterns which featured multiple garments, so that might be why I have so many.
Are you taking part in BHMPatternDesigners? If so what are you sewing?
