The Daily Sew
Hello,
I believe sewing should be more about creating and expressing yourself and less about being frustrated or perfect at it. Everyone can sew if they want to; to fix a hole, to change the fit of a garment, or to create something brand new. If you're just learning how to sew or are ready to learn more about it, The Daily Sew's videos are here to help with foundation knowledge, tips, and techniques. And if you have any questions I'm always happy to answer.

A love of clothes, costumes, and textiles lead me to earn a degree in Fashion Design, hold an internship with designer, Kenneth Richards, and work as a tailor. I put all that aside to sew Halloween costumes for my kids. More recently I taught art and sewing at a middle school and started The Daily Sew to help anyone who was feeling as frustrated as I was with sewing patterns. Let me share my knowledge with you.
