Hey!! My name is Delaya Briscoe and I'm a fashion designer and sewing coach who helps simplify sewing so creatives can comfortably and confidently continue on their sewing journeys. I had a sewing machine for an entire year before I was bold enough to pull it out the closet so I understand just how intimidating starting to sew can be. There's tools, techniques, fabrics and what seems like a whole different language you have to learn and that keeps a lot of creatives on the sidelines "wishing" they knew how to sew.
On this channel, you'll find:
-Sewing tutorials and tips to help and inspire you on your sewing journey
-Vlog style videos of the fashion design process where I draw, design, pattern and sew custom clothes for myself or clients
-The occasional style video as I fit these custom me-makes into my wardrobe

Thank you so much. This really helped. God bless you.
I love this video because I needed it when I started sewing in 2008, and our journeys seem to align in SEW MANY WAYS. Thank You for sharing!! 🥰🥰 ~Shalam
@@aseedsewn2828 thank you. Hopefully it helps someone else just starting their journey. What do you enjoy most about sewing?
I enjoyed your video!😊
Thank you! Appreciate it
This is a great video my friend and I subscribed!❤ I have a sewing channel here also. Please stop by say hi and if you find anything useful or and inspiring please like and subscribe.
Thank you for the support. I've returned the favor.
I’m so happy I came across your channel I only sown twice in my life when I was in high school I denim skirt and a baby blanket. But I didn’t really care for the craft back then and now I have been contemplating about it. I crochet scarves hats and blankets but now I wanna make some slip skirts circle skirts pencil skirts as well as curtain and drapes. And I forgot to even how to thread a sewing machine I hope you can help me find a cheap reliable so we machine and help me get started on my way also I haven’t purchased a sewing pattern in a long time which ones are the best ones I can’t remember what was the popular ones back then but if you can help me I’ll be watching and tuning in and I’ll let you know when I buy the sewing machine and patterns and start my first project
Nice, welcome back to your sewing journey and thanks for supporting the channel! Would love to help you where I can. For a cheap reliable sewing machine, I'd hit Facebook market place first to see if anyone is selling one. Sometimes you can get a brand new one for a low cost. For more info on choosing a machine, you can watch my video on things to consider before you pick one. As for patterns, Simplicity is an easy go to for understandable patterns and easy sewing but there's probably so many more indie pattern businesses since you've last sewn. You'll just have to stay close to the sewing content to see who they are and what you like. I'll be going more into tutorials by end of February/early March and these questions of yours helped so much in my planning so if there's anything else you're curious about, let me know!
Wow, thank you for this 🙏
You're so welcome. Do you plan on learning to sew this year?
@DelayaBriscoe Yes, just got my sawing machine
@DivineParker-nv2oo Nice. What made you want to start sewing?
So funny you mentioned threadbanger, I have a janome machine from the threadbanger collab I got in 2009, attempted a project with tricky fabric without enough knowledge and got discouraged, and am finally learning and trying again now! I wish I had listened to my mom more before she passed but I'm grateful for all the info online. Thanks for this helpful video, I subscribed!
Tricky fabric has broken so many hearts. Good for you for giving it another chance. Hope you get some fond memories of your mom and those spiritual connecting moments while on your sewing journey. What have you made so far now that you’re back at it?
@DelayaBriscoe so far just scrunchies, an apron, reusable fabric gift bags, and a bad attempt at pajama pants that I need to try again!
@ not “just”, that’s a lot! And you improve with each project. Do you know why your pajama pants didn’t turn out as expected?
I’m still learning about zippers and buttons
Which do you like better, buttons or zippers?
@@DelayaBriscoe both
@@elisaluckett1439 lol, you’re an equal opportunist with closures?
What do you mean?
You said you liked both zippers and buttons, which are closures. So doesn’t matter what the project throws at you, you’re okay either.
Always take your time read step by step, even if it take you a couple days to finish . Because you are learning. I been sewing since 2004
Good tip. It's good to be patient...and know when to step away and give yourself some time and space.
I have a Singer start, which is a basic machine. I'm hoping purchase Singer black heavy duty soon. I want to make my own clothes and a few things for the grands.
Yes, a Singer Start is pretty basic. It’ll get you going but only so far if you really want to get into sewing. Aww I love seeing people make clothes for the kids in there lives. It’s so cute. Especially when the kid appreciates it.
I love sewing because it's my time of meditation and prayers 😅😅 Been sewing for over 40 years I love your information so I will subscribe
@@queenwere1 thank you, appreciate it. What’s your most favorite thing you’ve sewn?
Soothing. Sewing since 14 years of age.
I’m new to sewing. Thanks for the tips. I love the print of your sweatshirt
@@Sammy-cy4tj welcome to sewing. What made you start? And thanks, It’s a shirt I helped designed for Walmart a couple years back.
@ you’re quite welcome. It was a goal from last year to learn a new skill. Oh… ok.
Were you able to see anything last year?
WOW i was thinking about starting to learn sewing this year and guess what- I SAW THIS VID! thxxx
@@RMASAiN_Disguise Nice!! Love to hear it!! If you have any questions, feel free to ask.
I have sewn for 50+ years and I actually teach 1 on 1 instructions in my home. Your tool list was helpful. I have subscribed to your channel and look forward to your content and sharing with my students. Thank you
thank you for subscribing and thank you for using me as a resource. I really appreciate it.
Been sewing for 40 years too 🎉🎉congratulations to both of us 👏 ❤️ 💖
Great.
subscribing, i skate too
@@realfoodmunchies thank you! How long have you been skating for?
@ Hi yes, I got my skates back in 2020 but haven’t been consistent grrr lol I make and Dance Hoops more since summer 2016 it’s so much fun! I have another channel I’m trying to grow as the same time as this one called Wildflower Hooper. If you live in the North East I’d love to give you a beginner intermediate and an off body advanced Hoop. UA-cam Dance Hooping and Hoopalicious, she’s the OG. Let me know what you think about it! Take care!
@@realfoodmunchies lol got my skates at the same time and same. 😅. I live in California but thanks for the offer. What is Dance Hoop?
@@DelayaBriscoe Girl! It’s Hula Hoop 2.0 lol it’s just dancing while keeping the hoop up. I know this older lady that hoops I think it’s called Holistic hoops by Denise E Williams! She’s awesome!
lol look, I just tried to hula hoop with my daughter last week and the way that hoop wouldn’t stay up was embarrassing lol. Hula hoop 2.0 sounds like a doozy!
I want to see because I want to be able to make things I’m proud of
@@sheriroberts55 Yes!! One of the best feelings ever! Do you plan on learning in 2025?
@@DelayaBriscoeyes, I just need to learn.
@@sheriroberts55 Cool. Do you have a sewing machine?
@ yes, my daughter bought me one for Christmas
@ awe what a nice gift! If you find yourself having questions, please feel free to ask. I love to help
If you want an EASY pattern that will make you love sewing, check out All Well Quilt Cardigan. It's a coat, but you can leave a collar off. It's amazing and very informational. You only need to know how to sew a normal seam, and can decide to learn add-on features like pockets and buttons.
Just looked it up and looks like a simple sew. Thanks for the recommendation. I'll actually be doing something very similar in the next few weeks.
I am loving that sweatshirt.....where did you get the fabric? I have it in cotton
@@fasloan thank you, I actually didn’t make this. Well myself. I designed it for my job for Walmart a few years back.
This is my first time on your channel 💖 I knew I loved your content from Instagram. When I get back into sewing I'm definitely coming to your channel💃🏾. The set is still fire 🔥
@@BriModestCrafts Hey girl!! Welcome to this side of content corner!!
@DelayaBriscoe 🤗🤗
I give this video like and hope you will run ads to promote your nice channel
Thanks for the like and the comment. Maybe one day I'll do ads, but not at the moment. Hope you enjoyed the video.
Great blog! The outfit looks amazing.
@@juliaanderson7813 thank you!! Appreciate it
Your set is great and the bold pattern on the fabric is just right for this! I’m making my 3rd set currently, this one with long pants. The shorts have been a favorite of mine to even wear under dresses this past summer. I appreciate your review! Good job!
Thank you. And yes, this set is so easy and comfortable. Love it. What fabrics have you used for yours?
@ So far I've used just cotton lawn, calico and flannel! Linen is next. I just made plaid flannel ones that I can't take off cause I love them so much!
Are you using these as pajamas or are you rocking them outside the house?
I just made this pattern (mock up) and it came out with ALL the same fit issues you had. Seems like she didnt make any adjustments at all 😢
Sorry for the late response and sorry it didn’t come out right. According to her, she’s updated it and has sent me updated patterns and instructions but I haven’t done it again. I think I plan to in the summer so hopefully it was corrected.
@delayabriscoe well best of luck! I scrapped it and went with the Lilypa Kanon Bustier dress, she designs full figure bras so it’s sized appropriately and really great instructions as well!
yea, just googled that pattern and you can easily tell they're more experienced w/ fuller busts. How did the dress turn out for you?
Print matching is my NEMESIS! But you did that!❤
lol Thank you. I think it’s become my nemesis too.
Your set turned out great despite the challenges. Prints are nice but can be really tricky to work with when trying to match 😅
Thank you. I definitely underestimated what it would take to line the print up. 😅 it’s all good though. Life goes on lol. I have a better strategy for the next time I do it.
Ok I am feeling this collection! Especially the set with the glitter eye print fabric. I’m also doing some late summer sewing for a cruise.
@@blufaerie thank you. Ooo, a cruise sounds like a good time. What are some of the things you’re making?
Love your ideas! I’m just getting started myself on Summer sewing.
@@sewmarimelz thank you. lol well glad to know I’m not in this boat alone. What’s on your list to make?
@DelayaBriscoe I only ended up doing two pieces lol. Vogue 1871 shorts & Staystich Malibu Shirt. On to fall sewing!
@@sewmarimelzlol and I’m over here determined to finish these summer styles. I’m tweaking 1 or 2 for the Fall, but these will get done. (…that’s me partially convincing myself lol)
@@DelayaBriscoe lol
What type of feather is this
It’s a boa of ostrich feathers
Stunning
Thank you! and thanks for watching
Glam hive sent me an email to attend a conference in new york this week. i am here doing research. hope all is well
Enjoy yourself!! I’d love to be fly on the wall see everyone’s outfits. I know there’s gonna be some heat there. Anything you’re looking forward to?
@@DelayaBriscoe lol this would cause me to cancel my workout. So I have not made up my mind yet . I would be there for the beauty aspect. 😍 it is called glam hive live fall style & beauty summit
@@acestarone That’s dope, they didn’t have the beauty part when I attended. Do I think it’s a necessity to go, no, but it’s a good experience. Especially if you’re a social person who likes to network. A lot of connection opportunities will be present.
@@DelayaBriscoe I agree 👍
@@DelayaBriscoe i checked the invite and the conference takes place Nov. 5th. i go on vacation the next day. so i probably won't attend. i have to graciously thank them. the invite is a gift. i won't need to pay admission.
Watching you from Romania ❤️
Hey!! Thanks for watching! How’s everything over there?
@@DelayaBriscoeOMG YOU RESPONDED. sorry I just got super excited. ❤️🙌🏾 I can't complain really. A blk girl in Romania looking for a new way to spend my downtime. The hardest thing is finding fabric that I like that's simple for a beginner like me.
@@jadakizz78tulie33 of course. I haven’t posted in a minute but if anyone takes the time out to comment, I will definitely respond. How long have you been into sewing and what made you want to start?
@@DelayaBriscoe I've always wanted to start but I've been so busy. When I moved overseas I have extra time I want to learn now
@@jadakizz78tulie33 well if you have the time, now is as good a time as any. Idk how the fabric stores are set up overseas or what the popular ones are, but a good easy fabric to start with are quilting fabrics. A medium weight cotton, sometimes known as Calico. It’s very forgiving and can be undone several times without damaging the fabric. Or, get some bed sheets from a thrift shop to practice and get comfortable.
You did an amazing job. But I would suggest adding a sturdier lining for more support, AND BONING BONING, BONING!!! Boning is our friend. Great Job!
Thank you, and yes I agree. I was quickly testing a pattern here. The creator has since updated the pattern for fuller busts and I would definitely add bra padding and boning next time.
Your message was well received.
Great! Do you plan on attending one?
hi where did you get the feathers from?
Hey Toni! Check the description of the video. I left a link there from where I ordered the feathers from.
@@DelayaBriscoe omg thank you so so much!
@@tonivanbibber6664 you’re welcome!
Love the video and the transparency. I know how it feels to drag a little on a project when learning a new technique. That intimidation can be real. Loved the coat also nice work 😉❤️❤️
Thank you, appreciate it. Yes, the intimidation can be really real.
This skirt is adorable - great job. I like the red
Thank you, appreciate it. Red is my power color. Do you have a power color?
It’s came out looking spectacular!! Good job!!
Thank you. 😊 appreciate it!
How long did it take to sew the feathers on the cuff of the sleeves and around the hem of the robe all together. It’s beautiful I’m thinking about modifying a robe I already have.
Hmm it was a while ago so I don’t remember exactly. I’d say about 4 or so hours… it was tough because the ostrich feather boa is a rope with a lot of glue so it was tough to push the handle needle through. It would’ve been a lot faster to sew on machine but like I mentioned, the machine flatted the fluff.
Lol creative way to do this!
Thank you. Everybody body wants short video now so I figured I better get to experimenting.
So cool! I’m here from Bossfluence 👋
Thank you, appreciate it! Welcome Bossfluence sis! :)
This turned out really good. Loved it.

The dress turned out lovely you did an amazing job. Your hair is also so gorgeous in the half up half down style.
Thank you. Appreciate it. I had to fight my hair to cooperate. She was being needy that day so glad it turned out decent. 😅
