The Sewing Serge, The Growing Creators Community And The Divide, With Monica, Founder Of The ~Black Makers Matter~ Coalition

On this weeks episode I go further inside the sewing and creators community. A deeper look at the sewing serge, the growing creators community and the divide within. 
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 filling the need and desires for creative activities and escape. Let’s just say, this is no longer a dying art.
THE SEWING SERGE, THE GROWING COMMUNITY AND THE DIVIDE
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 highs and unfortunate lows – as it pertains to the lack of inclusion and diversity.
If you’re already a part of the sewing community or have the slightest interest or curiosity about the art 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! All of the links are below.

🧶Meet - WHIMSY GIRL CARDI!🌷This cardigan is my 2nd Crochet Challenge & Experiment.

🧶This project had no pattern and absolutely no direction other than allowing my mind to be free, have fun, and to do whatever (stitch) came to mind as I went along, and here we are! 

🧶I started my WHIMSY GIRL in the 1st week of December, which was my 4th month of teaching myself to crochet, and gave myself the challenge of finishing B4 Christmas! 
It came veeeery close, but I did it!!☺️

🌷She's been finished and tucked away while I experiment on crocheting my 1st pair of crochet pants.😬

🤞🏼 Stand by 🤞🏼
