4 YouTube Channels Every Sewing Enthusiast Should Follow!

Whether you’re threading your first needle or mastering couture details, the right YouTube mentor can level up your skills fast. These 4 channels blend clear instruction with creativity, so every lesson ends with something wearable (and skill-building).

1. Coolirpa

April Yang (aka Coolirpa) makes sewing feel modern, attainable, and fun. Her signature thrift-flip and upcycling projects teach real garment construction skills while showing how to rework pieces you already own. You’ll find videos that take you from concept to finished look, with practical tips on alterations, fit, and finishing.

2. Bernadette Banner

If you’re fascinated by historical dressmaking, Bernadette Banner is a masterclass. She recreates period garments with careful hand-sewing and walks you through each stage -- materials, shaping, joining pieces, and final details -- in a clear, methodical way. Even if you mostly sew by machine, her tips on pressing, neat seams, and clean construction are genuinely helpful.

3. WithWendy

Wendy’s channel is an upbeat, idea-rich hub that bridges fashion design and practical sewing. You’ll find clean, beginner-friendly tutorials alongside ambitious makes, all explained with calm pacing and smart visuals. Her projects often decode trending silhouettes into approachable patterns, with plenty of fit notes.

4. Sew Very Easy

Laura Coia is the teacher everyone wishes they had. Her straightforward videos cover core techniques -- zippers, buttonholes, bindings, hems -- plus a steady stream of garment, bag, and quilting projects. The magic is in her clarity: you’ll actually see each step and understand the order of operations, which makes troubleshooting so much easier.

Whether you’re a beginner or a professional, these channels are easy to follow and quick to learn from. Pick a project that fits your mood: try a historical hand stitch, flip a thrifted piece, or practice a zipper, and you’ll see your skills (and your clothes) improve fast!
