Hey there! I'm Julie, I'm from Vancouver, Canada, but I live in a small town of 5000 in New Brunswick, Canada, while attending university.

I run a feminist collaboration zine called Cherry Bomb and I'm working on my first perzine, although it will be under a different name. I'm always down to trade, so check out the issues of the zine if you want and I would love to exchange for your zine/craft/whatever :) I also love pen pals so if you would like to write letters, let me know!

I'm obsessed with tea, zines, mail, letters, animals, and good music.

howdy!
I'm Lucy & I live in Olympia, Washington.
My "day job" is dressmaking (I design & sew plus-sized, retro-style clothes out of one-of-a-kind, vintage fabrics) @ http://www.etsy.com/shop/hissyfitoly

I also thrift/collect/sell vintage clothing (@ http://www.etsy.com/shop/rolypolyvintage ), make a variety of art (the embroidered pin-ups in this, "100Ladies" shop, plus other oddities), play the drums, study up on garbage/plastics/marine debris/peak oil, play board games, work with a local anarchist collective (doing homeless outreach + harm reduction/exchange = direct action is the revolution), bake pies, go to the lake/forest/ocean/mountains, dance to friends' bands in moldy basements, work in my garden, get tattooed, and get crafty.

I'm (generally) up for trades for my vintage stuff + art (can't swing it for my handmade clothes, though--sorry, but this is what pays the bills, you know?)

rock on,
-Lucy

Hi, I am Susan and I live in Ocala, Florida. I go to school and do etsy (and my website). I have three shops on Etsy - this one, and for vintage - oldsusanwilliams.etsy.com and for supplies - strumandsparkle.etsy.com

Hey everyone,

Im Hannah, 18, from London.

I set up my brand Hanecdote which started off as hip hop inspired screen printed tshirts, but as my knowledge and journey into feminism has evolved, a lot of my products now evolve around self love/the female form/body confidence and sexuality.

Im only new to this and am really passionate about my brand and products!

I hope to produce new lines as I get more successful (fingers crossed)

Thanks for inviting me into this group!!

Hey everyone!

I'm Aubrey, and I'm an internet addict... oh wait, that's not what we're here for...

Well, I'm a really snappy young whipper snapper who loves social justice and cats. And tea. I FREAKING love tea. Most of the money I make from my shop goes towards more supplies, yarn, tea, candles, incense, or the nasty bug I've caught called "wants to read too many books at one time and thusly buys more books than I can handle".

I make LOUD patches because I live in a tiny Mormon town outside of Seattle that doesn't let me express myself at all. Most patches are feminist, LGBT or liberal etc.
I would lovelovelove to trade with anyone! I've had very good/pleasant experiences with trading thus far in my etsy career. I also would love to have some feminist penpals. Bring back the written letter!

Lots of womyn love~
Aubrey Sunshine♥

Hello!

My name is Jocelyn and I am an art graduate living in Los Angeles. I have been a craft/ DIY junkie for a long time now. I put out a series of zines called "Macha" back in 2009. I am a crafter of all trades and enjoy reading, painting, and making everything that I can. I am also an avid collector with too many things and not enough space.

Almost every item in my store has been made using reclaimed items.

Lets trade!

XOXO

I'm Jen and I live near Leicester in the treacherous Midlands of England.
I've only just opened my shop but I make spooky, creepy, sci-fi, halloween spangles and (hopefully) will start finding some threads to sell. I am a strong believer in glitter and charity shops.
I'm super interested in conservation and Johnny Depp. I craft while sitting in bed, often with Jeremy Kyle, and am watched over my my angel ghost sweetling axolotls, Spook and Snork.
So chuffed to be invited to this group by Nicole and more than happy to speak to anyone and do trades and such, hit me up!

Hey everyone. I just joined. It's nice to see such a large bunch of feminist craft lovers in one place. I live in Kentucky and am a total punk. :) I love to prove people wrong when they say that 'something isn't for women' and rebel when I am told I 'can't' do something. I make mostly perfumes, although I plan to expand eventually to other scented items. I am kind of o.c.d and buy way to much scented stuff, so I moved on to making it. I dabble in jewelry making also when I have time. I am sometimes into trading, so it never hurts to ask. Here's my store, in case you want to check it out:
