Hey, I’m Delaya!

Designing your own clothes is an exciting way to express individuality with the world. It can also be a little lucrative if you decide to take your hobby to new levels and design for others.

My joy comes from helping you bring your design idea to life. I love seeing your confidence grow in design and sewing as I share the tools and techniques I’ve learned the past 20 years of sewing and designing.

I believe making your own clothes should be enjoyable and simple. That’s why I’ve created sew-with-me courses and other resources that help remove the intimidation and overwhelm learning this skill can cause. Beyond learning the sewing techniques and the design process, we also talk about mindset so you can be THAT GIRL showing up in a You-Original.
