It's time to start sewing with Sew It Yourself with DIY Daisy: 20 pattern-free projects (and infinite variations) to make your dream wardrobe.

When Daisy Braid started sewing, patterns were out of her budget so she just started DIYing! Sew It Yourself with DIY Daisy is a colourful, size-inclusive and inspiring book for sewers of all stages and abilities, beginners included. It includes guides on everything you need to get started (including equipment, materials and basic techniques) and step-by-step projects with clear instructions, photographs and illustrations that will take the scary out of sewing.
Daisy's designs use simple shapes to create playful, classic and comfortable pieces that can be styled for all occasions, whether that's a picnic date or a WFH day. The book features 10 small accessory projects and 10 more advanced clothing projects, each with a fun variation (but with potential for endless customisation). There's no standard sizing – just your own body measurements – and no zips or buttons required! They also encourage intentional sewing practices, with projects that produce minimal waste and can even be made with leftover fabric scraps.
So get out that sewing machine (or borrow one from you granny) – Sew It Yourself with DIY Daisy is all you need to get started on discovering (or rediscovering) sewing and creating something one-of-a-kind. Just remember: sewing is self-care, and you make the rules!

      DIY Daisy blogger Braid debuts with an uplifting spin on standard sewing fare that focuses on making customized clothing and accessories out of simple shapes with “no buttons, zips or darts.” She starts with an overview of basic skills, such as how to calculate the amount of fabric required for a pattern, apply bias binding, take one’s own measurements, and finish a seam. Projects are broken into two sections, accessories and clothing, with the former featuring such beginner-friendly ideas as a simple tie scrunchie, a straightforward tote bag, and some fabric-covered button earrings. The clothing designs are relaxed and ruffled, and include a baggy kama square-neck top, the breezy Sophie trapezoid skirt, and the “floaty” Maya dress. Throughout, Braid shares variations, such as the “patch pocket shorts” version of the “trace pants,” and a skirt pattern that can have a second ruffle. The bold, quirky graphics are nice, but newbies may wish for some step-by-step photos to help them along. Even so, this creative guide is full of inspiration.
