Too many sewing groups on the other social media platform try to silence these topics, claiming the group is just for fun, not for politics. Sewing is an escape. To that I say, what about those who are unable to escape at all?

Collage of TinaLucia handbags made by me in NJ, USA, from my own Bumbleroot Design patterns.

In 2022, I created my TinaLucia brand to differentiate between my sewing patterns and finished products. All of my TinaLucia handbags are made from my own Bumbleroot Design patterns.

In 2023, I started looking into having my designs manufactured. This is still a work in progress!

Collage of bags made from Bumbleroot Design sewing patterns.

About me: In 2019, after a few months of making handbags and wallets for local retail, I started designing and drafting my own bag patterns. My first pattern was the Leelana Crossbody. Under the Bumbleroot Design name, I write, illustrate, and publish sewing patterns for other bagmakers. #bagmaker

I firmly reject the notion that human rights, human value, and human dignity are “political” topics or personal/religious views. The marginalized do not have the luxury to compartmentalize this. Standing up for human rights belongs everywhere, all the time.
