Nine Banded Pride Sampler - PDF Pattern
The Pride Sampler for 2023 is the largest one yet, and I hope you love it!
Nine Banded Pride Sampler celebrates the nine-stripe version of the rainbow pride flag designed by Gilbert Baker. Each band of the sampler is tied to a stripe of the flag, with symbolic designs reminding us of the meaning behind each color. The statement around the edge brings Pride back to the view of being a remembrance of those who got us where we are today, a celebration of those community members around us now, and a protest to keep making the world a better and safer place for the future.
