About us
Sewjo is your creative companion for every step of your sewing journey—helping you stay inspired, organized, and connected with others who share your passion for making.
We believe in the joy of making. Sewing isn’t just a craft; it’s an expression of creativity, a journey of problem-solving, and a way to connect with others who share the same passion.
Our mission is simple: to empower sewists with tools and community that make their creative process more organized, joyful, and meaningful.
Our Mission
Sewjo was born from a deep love of sewing and a desire to celebrate the makers behind every project. Our vision is to create a world where sewists feel inspired, supported, and connected—a space where creativity thrives and challenges turn into opportunities to grow.
Sustainability is at the heart of everything we do. Sewjo is deeply rooted in values of sustainability, slow making, respect for craft, and thoughtful repair and reuse—reflecting years of work addressing textile waste and promoting sustainable practices within the sewing community.
We're Built Different
We know sewing isn’t just about the end product; it’s about the journey. That’s why Sewjo is built to be intuitive, approachable, and joyful to use. Whether you’re a beginner just starting your first project or an experienced sewist with years of practice, Sewjo is here to support your unique creative process.
Our approach is rooted in connection. We’re not just creating tools; we’re fostering a space where ideas come to life, challenges are solved, and creativity is celebrated. Sewjo is about more than sewing—it’s about the people behind every stitch.
Our Commitment to You
Sewjo is being built with and for sewists. Your feedback, ideas, and creativity are the foundation of everything we do. As we grow, we promise to stay true to our mission: making sewing more fun, accessible, and inspiring for everyone.
A Note From Our Founder
Irina McKenzie
Founder
"Sewjo is deeply personal. As someone who has spent years working on sustainability through FABCYCLE, and running Community Repair Initiative, I’ve seen firsthand the creativity and resourcefulness of sewists. This platform is my way of bringing together the values of sustainability, community, and joy in making. Sewjo isn’t just an app; it’s a shared space where we can grow, inspire, and create together."
