Handmade Nation

I recently came across another blog or post on Ravelry about Handmade Nation. It's a documentary film and book combo that will be released later this year (the book) and early next year (the film). The director, Faythe Levine has been traveling across the USA in an effort to interview many DIY crafters about the new craft movement. As a woman who loves to support other female artists and support female-run businesses, I couldn't help but order the t-shirts that Faythe is selling over on Etsy (she also has several different totes, which are prefect for a medium sized project or to use at the grocery store).

Each t-shirt or tote purchased supports the funding of the project. The t-shirt fit is great, as always with American Apparel-based shirts, and the design is fun and funky and will get people to ask about the project. I'm excited for Faythe and can't wait to see the final cut. So, help out if you can and order a shirt or stop by her blog and read about the process of making the film and book. She has a donate button on the blog if you want to support, but aren't into the shirt.
