Making Stories - 2: Loving & Caring

Making Stories Magazine strives to feature companies and makers who focus on sustainability, transparency, fairness and equity in their work. They love telling these stories and hope to inspire and enable crafters to make conscious and informed decisions about the materials they use and companies they support. 

In Issue 2, you’ll find cosy accessories and comfortable garments that are inspired by loving and caring for ourselves, our community and our planet. Making Stories are delighted to share the extraordinary stories and visual art pieces of their contributors with you, from discovering the love for your body to finding the common threads in your communities and having necessary conversations on inclusion and racism.
