This sewing machine kills fascists

In case anyone feels like combining their sewing and their activisting -- a crafter friend who knows that I find hand-sewing soothing sent me links to some of the amazing suffragette banners as inspiration, and now I'm plotting:

(Another friend has advised that reverse applique may be best for lettering.)

Reverse applique is great for lettering because you can get nice crisp corners!

You have great friends! :D

Now I'm imagining putting some of those onto scarves... Or blankets. The backs of jackets. I don't know how often I could use banners, but wearables would be great for that.
