MT Community Love Fund raises money through creative collaborations and partnerships. This year we crowdsourced your favorite up-and-coming designers and now we’re promoting them during this year’s MT Community Love Fundraiser.
This means 100% of their pattern sales go directly to them. 10% of sales from kits supports the MT Community Love Fund, which this year goes to charities selected by our MT Community Love designers.
