The idea for this pennant came when Jane was describing the rainbow threads project. I have used denim because it is a fabric recognised across the world and LGBTQ+ people are part of every community in the world. I wanted red fabric as it represents love but also represents danger. Being LGBTQ Plus can be risky and dangerous in many parts of the world even today. In Britain people have been killed for being LGBTQ+ I used ripped denim to reflect the damage such prejudice does to people The rainbow thread represents including all people and the Sashiko thread is about mending and hopefully healing relationships. The fabrics are from clothes donated to a charity shop but not saleable being repurposed I wanted to take part in this project because I know my closest friends are part of the LGBTQ community.
