On this weeks episode I go further inside the sewing and creators community. 

During this pandemic, there has certainly been a great serge (surge) in sewing, along with many other creative outlets. From people making hundreds and even thousands of masks, to others taking up sewing to fill the desires and needs for creative activities and escape. 

Let’s just say, this is no longer a dying art. 

To speak with me and share insight on this amazing and rapidly growing community is my guest Monica, of That’s Sew Monica and founder of the Black Makers Matter Coalition. We get into the nitty gritty of the matchless highs and unfortunate lows - as it pertains to the lack of inclusion and diversity within the industry and community. 

If you’re already a part of the sewing community or have the slightest interest or curiosity about the art or industry, this episode is definitely for you!

 More than likely you’ll be checking out sewing platforms and hashtags or researching sewing machines by the end of the show. Lol…

Be sure to check out Monica's platforms, she has a lot of great pots cooking!
