Hello, my name is Monique Powell, and I am the proud owner and operator of Sew Mystique Boutique. My journey into entrepreneurship began in 2012 after I was unexpectedly laid off from work. What started as a challenging moment motivated me to pursue my passion and create something meaningful.
During this time, I decided to dust off my sewing machine and turn a small idea into a business. I began making and selling children’s clothing, crafts, accessories, and personalized gifts for family and friends. What started as a simple side hustle to earn extra money quickly grew into something much bigger. I realized I wanted to create a business that would not only support my family but also inspire my children.
My love for sewing traces back to my high school years, when I took it as an elective during my junior and senior years. Sewing became a creative outlet that allowed me to express myself, care for my well-being, and simply have fun. Today, it remains a source of joy and inspiration as I share my creations with others.
In addition to being a business owner, I am a wife, a mother of two, and a full-time Parent support & advocate for families with children with disabilities. I proudly reside in New Jersey and cherish the opportunity to serve my community through my work.
