Black Girls Sew's BedStuy Makers Market is a chance to shop directly from independent makers in one of Brooklyn's most creative neighborhoods, with a focus on handmade goods and the sewing community this organization is known for cultivating. It's a low-commitment, feel-good way to spend a Saturday afternoon supporting Black-owned creative businesses and finding pieces you won't see anywhere else. If you'd rather discover one-of-a-kind work than scroll a marketplace app, this is your weekend stop.
What to expect
Expect a relaxed daytime market vibe: tables of handmade and small-batch goods, makers happy to talk about their work, and the easygoing community feel that defines Bed-Stuy. It runs on select Saturdays starting at noon, so it suits browsers who like to wander, chat, and pick up something special rather than rush. Great for solo strolls, friends, or anyone curious about the local maker scene.
Good to know
- This market falls on two specific Saturdays — June 6th and June 20th, 2026 — both starting at noon, so double-check the date before you head out.
- Bed-Stuy is well served by the A/C at Utica or Nostrand and the G train; check the official listing for the exact address and the nearest stop.
- Bring cash and a tote — small makers often prefer cash or Venmo, and you'll want a way to carry whatever you find.
