Let me start with a disclaimer. I am not a professional seamstress, nor am I very fashion conscious. Neither am I a good writer. What I am is an enthusiastic learner and first and foremost a doer. Sewing is such a “doing” that I stuck with passion. And this Sew Guide is my dream space, where I hope to share what I learn and do.
Creating something unique and three dimensional from an essentially one-dimensional cloth has always fascinated me.I am a Management Graduate and none in my family thought that I would be interested in sewing. And looking at me no one would guess that I love fashion, clothes and all things beautiful and glamorous. But here I am. And here you are. Welcome.
The excitement, the creative accomplishment a girl gets when sewing cannot be easily described. Girls are born creators be it a baby or a tasty dish- we love to create. Sewing is the ultimate creative hobby which is also very useful.
A kind of excitement grips me every time I enter a fabric store, and fabric stores have so many different beautiful gorgeous fabric and clothes. The excitement lasts till the garment is cut and stitched, then on to the next cloth. Do join me in this beautiful addiction.
I would like this to be a space for all sewing enthusiasts to hang out and share their passion for sewing and create more and more beautiful fascinating and awe inspiring cloth creations
I hope that I am able to provide some helpful information to you through sewguide.com. Please keep in mind that I am learning sewing and think of it as a continuous process ; Hope that you would excuse any mistake I have noted down here.
Happy sewing
Thanks for visiting

This is what I have been looking for, for so long! Answer to my payers!
Not only are you a doer, but you are also an enabler and a ray of light to humanity.
Thank you!

Wonderful site, so glad I came across it. I am a huge fan of Kurta shirts, have a few from a great shop in Abu Dhabi (including a couple of unstitched that i just ordered today!).
Now I am planning to make my own, from the lawn cotton fabric brought back from Liberty of London.
So nice of you to share your knowledge and experience, thank you very much!

Hi Prabhojit
Thanks for the kind and encouraging comment. The form for subscribing is supposed to be there on the site. I don’t know why you cannot see it – may a tech glitch. I have added your email to the list.
Dear Sarina,
What a wonderful job you are doing here.
It is such a joy to find someone who shares steps on how to create something nice and then also the logic behind it – all in such a helpful way.
I have learnt to sew as a young girl and am still learning from you now.
