Anita by Design
I help new beginners learn how to master the basics of garment sewing. Through Sew Along Tutorials, sewing tips, and other sewing related videos, I walk you through the process of learning to sew. I explain the steps along the way to help you understand the "why" behind the instructions. With step-by-step, very detailed teaching, you will gather sewing skills to help you create garments that you'll be proud to wear out in public.
My pattern and product reviews help you to get closeup looks at what's available and my personal opinions to help you decide if you'd like to purchase items from sewing brands you see advertised.
Styling your DIY garments brings them to life in ways that reflect your personal style. Therefore, I share styling videos demonstrating what's possible when pairing your makes with accessories and other garments from your closet.
