Shop owners: Please join us in promoting breast cancer awareness and charity sewing in October by hosting your own SewPink event.

Help us raise funds for research.
Nearly 70% of the ByAnnie community - our customers, staff, and friends - are within the highest risk factor for breast cancer. Many members of our ByAnnie family have witnessed their loved ones endure countless treatments and make painful goodbyes. For us, it’s personal. We imagine it’s personal for you, as well.
In joining forces with Fat Quarter Shop, we are encouraging donations to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. Through their research, we move closer to prevention and cures.
ByAnnie.com will be matching all funds raised during the month of October 2024 (up to $10k) and encourage you to donate, if you can.
SewPink Blog Hop
Join us each day in October for a blog hop of inspiration and education, as well as a fundraiser through the Breast Cancer Research Foundation and charity sewing opportunities. Be sure to check out each day's blog for information and giveaway opportunities. Note: Prior blog hops from 2019 forward are also available here.

Schedule a Mammogram
Despite its limitations, a mammogram is the most effective form of screening. It's not the most enjoyable appointment you'll have all year, but in 20 minutes a mammogram can identify cancer several years before any physical symptoms develop.
It's important to stay positive as you handle your screenings. 1 in 9 mammograms result in a callback for further testing, and 95% of these callbacks do NOT have cancer!
Find a screening program near you:
Submit to the Photo Contest
ByAnnie.com hosts a monthly photo contest year round. Among the prizes, we offer a $50 credit to use on the website for photos featuring sewing projects using ByAnnie products that also are #SewPINK initiative related.
So break out your camera, take some amazing photos of your projects and send them in!
Go beyond SewPINK
There are hundreds of cancers in this world and each has its unique characteristics, risks, diagnosis and treatment.
