An empowerment project to inspire, encourage and spread love through our creative sewing talents and gifts!
Hello friends, this is Jennifer Long, Bee Sew Inspired. Today I am sharing with you a peek inside my first panel collection – Be A Superhero with Riley Blake Designs. I designed these Be A Superhero Panels to be a wonderful and simple, handmade toy, gift or opportunity to teach children to sew.
When I started designing these panels, I was thinking of ways we could give, thank and inspire all the ordinary superheroes in our everyday lives! Think teachers, nurses, receptionists, caregivers, patients, big brother and sisters… and so much more. Be A Superhero is for ANYONE who needs encouragement or recognition for the extra step they have gone. Do you know someone in your life like this?
Be A Superhero and Take the Challenge!
#superheromovement kicks off in August 2022

2. Take a photo of your Superhero holding the doll, “wearing” the quilt, laying under the quilt or wrapped in the quilt and being transformed into a Superhero!
3. Post it on social media under the hashtag #superheromovement
4. Bee Sew Inspired (Jennifer Long), will share and link YOUR photos under this hashtag to a collage on the Blog to lift up the good news stories of all the superhero’s everywhere in the world! Anyone can be an ordinary superhero! Let’s fill up the social media feeds with Superheroes!
