Hi!! I’m Monica, the fashion sewing blogger who sprinkles the magic behind That’s Sew Monica. My sewing journey was ignited several years ago in an effort to honor my late mother’s legacy. Along this journey other passions surfaced that increased my love for all things DIY, crafting and creating memorable art pieces where I inspire and am inspired.
As an Marketing Event Strategist merging my love of sewing with my passion for events and DIY give me joy. Bringing people together through the love of our shared crafts presents one of the things I cherish the most…community.
Community is at the forefront of all of the brands that I manage and companies that I own. Here is a sneak peek into each business and platform. I am founder and co-owner of @sewroritywear a company that offers fun sewing apparel and events fostering community with at home sewist. I am founder and host an online monthly sew-a-long called @sewyourview. I am founder of monthly in-person sewing meetup of all day sewing with friends called @theprojectsew. I am the creator of “On the Road With That’s Sew Monica” where I highlight the Dallas area fabric district and sewing industry. I am also the founder of @blkmakersmatter a coalition founded to bring about cultural change in the maker and crafting industry. Lastly I am the founder and owner of @livingtheankaralife a West African lifestyle brand.
I enjoy sewing and bringing my love of fashion to life.
