I am so happy to have found your channel. I have been listening and watching all of your videos since I found the first lesson. I love being created but could not understand the patterns to save my life and the book was no help. I can’t wait to begin my first real sewing project. Thank you for taking the time to be thorough. I can’t express that enough. You have explained it all. I can’t wait to post a pic of my my first skirt from lesson 1.
Hi Anita
I have been a fan and admirer of your work from the Make It, Mix It, Rock It Group and the RedPants Design Group. Your work and style is classy and elegant, and you always accessorize your outfits.
I am a bigger fan now that I had the pleasure to meet you in person at the Mimi G Conference. You are amazing in person.

Hey Anita
I’ve always wanted to learn to sew so my boyfriend brought me a sewing machine for my birthday. One day I was in Hancock fabric, they where having a going out of business sale so I decided to stop in. I went to the back of the store to browse through patterns. As I went through them I struck up a conversation with 2 young ladies who introduced me to your blog.

Hi Anita.. I stumbled upon your Youtube while attempting to learn how to sew. 🙂 And you’re teaching me a lot. Thank you!
Greetings to you,
I found you via youtube soon after you posted your first lesson. You have a talent for teaching and your instruction is very thorough. Thank you. Have a wonderful day.
Hello Anita! I found you by your beautiful posts on Mimi G’s Make it Mix it Rock it page. That red pea coat was the business! Jackets scare me, but your tutorials have really been great and I know my sewing will get there with time and practice. Many blessings to you and it was so nice seeing you at the conference.
Hey, this is Debby. I found you through a google search.
Hello Ms. Anita. Florence here. I was surfing the Internet and happened upon your blog. I was elated that you finally took the leap as I have seen many of your beautifu creations in a Facebook group. Thanks again for all you do in making this journey of sewing easier for some of us.
Hi Anita,
I found your blog on Facebook where I saw your yellow Easter Dress and I’ve searched high and low for that color fabric with no success. I love the video’s for beginners that you do even though I’ve been sewing for years it’s always good to go back for refresher courses every now and then. Keep up the good work and God Bless you.
Anita,
I I found you through a Facebbok group. The green coat is what caught my eye and I’ve been following you every since.
Congratulations on your 2000 subscribers and I’m sure there will be more added to that!

Hello Anita. I love your video’s. I love that you give such great details on a sewing project from start to finish. Your beginner course was awesome. I will be watching that again. Other video’s just take for granted you already know how to sew. I have started so many sewing project that I never finish because I get to a point that I just don’t understand what they are telling me to do…. I can’t wait to tell the next person that likes my outfit yea “I made it” !!! THANK YOU!!!
Hello Anita, I am Rochelle and I found out about you through a Facebook post by Blogger That Black Chick. From there I watch your first video and I was hooked. I am a beginner. I should say intermediate beginner, but I am still learning the ropes and can’t wait to see more. Thank you for sharing your work with all of us.

With sewing questions.
I feel like I know you. That’s how sweet and kind you

Hi Anita, I discovered your channel by strolling through you tube for some guidance on sewing a maxi skirt. After looking at your tutorials and how you give step by step instructions on making the latest designs I knew I had found the right person to help me make my sewing easy. Thanks for your Godly gift of patience and teaching.
Hello, my name is Camille. It was by happenstance that I found your YouTube site (first). I was looking for a tutorial on how to sew a circle skirt and found many other learning videos. At that point I subscribed because I wanted to see a woman of color sewing, being professional, a professional site and also one that would show quality work. I then ordered the pattern to make the skirt in the video.
Though I’m not a “beginner” per se, I am still what I call an “advanced beginner” because I haven’t sown anything for many years. I gave up because I was told years ago when I wanted to pursue fashion design that I’d have to know how to draw. Drawing is definitely not my forte. If it can be done on a computer – I’m your girl! However, back in the early 90s that was not the case. So, I have to pick up where I left off and continue to build on the skills I do have.
Thank you for taking the time to do what you do.
Camille
Hi Anita, I found you blog surfing. My sewing has been pretty maddening lately! seems like when I sew something it never fits. I’m a size 12 but when I looked at the sizes on the pattern it was a size 16 I should have sewn, what…arg so had to add fabric for it to fit. maybe they shouldn’t have sizes just the measurements. But congrats on all your followers and I love JoAnns, so this would be fun to win, thanks for the chance.
Hi, Anita. My name is Jackie. I came by your YouTube channel by chance. It was on my recommendation list two days ago. Your videos are so wonderfully made and so detailed. I felt like I was in a real sewing classroom (which I cannot afford, LOL). I was thinking on picking up on sewing and you just motivated my creative side. I have a sewing and serger that I have not touch in a year. Thank you so much for taking your time to share your knowledge with us. May God continue to Bless you in your new endeavors and with God by our side nothing is impossible. Very anxious to see your future videos. Once again, thank you. God Bless.
Hi Anita! My name is Shantina and I discovered your channel while searching for how to videos on skirts. I enjoy watching your videos. Please keep them coming.
Congrats on 2000+ subscribers!
I am interested in sewing while I was searching for sewing lessons for beginners I found out your YouTube channel
Hi, my name is Rene, congratulations on 2k sub. I found you on YT, because i was looking for
A beginners class in sewing. I have always wanted to learn to sew and make chic clothing that I could wear right away….and became inspired by your style.
Like I mentioned on your YpuTube page, true and honest. I’m motivated by your confidence. My name is Eugenia. I came across anitabydesign.com through suggested videos within YouTube. I was inspired by your story and presence. Your choice of clothing/patterns are flattering and elegant. You taught some important side information like, pattern altering that I’ve been craving to learn. It almost caused me to give up. Thank you for that.
Hi Anita! My name is Ashley and I found you through my YouTube recommendations. I can’t wait to follow along with your beginners projects videos.
Hi Anita. My name is Phyllis and I found your YT channel by YT recommendation and I have really enjoyed your videos. Congrats and thank you for entering my name into your drawing.

Hi my name is Lorelei. I found your channel by searching for sewing lessons.
Hello Anita, first off I would like to congratulate you on acquiring 2000 subscribers that is truly a blessing. My name is Mitzi and I came upon your channel as a suggestion through YouTube and I must say I could not be happier to have found your channel. I have always wanted to learn how to see. Both my mother and my aunt were sewers, my aunt to this day makes all her own clothes my mother focused more on things like seat covers for the kitchen chairs and curtains. My mother was planning to teach me how, but passed away before she got the chance. It’s been 17 years and my desire to learn is just as great now as it was then. I am truly enjoying watching your videos and hope to become as great a sewer as my mom. God Bless you Anita and I can’t wait to celebrate your next milestone with you.
Greetings Anita,

I’m Tracey, I found out about you on youtube searching for sewing tutorials.

Hey Anita…it’s Stephanie. I’ve been with you since before the sewing lessons and honestly I can’t remember how I found you?. I’m guessing it was through youtube, but it may have been pintrest.

Thank you for taking the time to help teach others a valuable skill. God bless you and may you thrive in all you do!
Hi Anita, I’m always looking for sewing techniques and was so happy to find your videos, which led me to your blog and just a whole host of wonderful ideas. I sew about anything that is not tied down and make quilts for people in need; i.e., coworkers and friends with cancer diagnoses, illnesses or surgeries, and have found it not only helps the recipient but me too (amazingly), and Girls Inc, which I designate as my donation organization. So I’ve developed a personal mission of sorts. BUT, OF COURSE, my first love is Fashion, and one of my goals is to make all my clothes–Haaa! I’m pretty sloppy in my technique in that area, so you have joyfully awakened me from a deep sleep! I just want to say thank you, and may He bless all those you touch.
I found your blog via You Tube.
Congratulations, Eula! You’ve won a $25 gift card to Joann’s Fabrics! I’ll send you an email shortly. Thank you for subscribing!

Hi, I located you one day while sewing blog surfing. I love your blog and your designs.
I hello Anita, you participated in the Amazing Coat Sew A Long last year. You made a beautiful light pink coat using MimiG’s coat pattern and you made the hat to match. I love the way you styled your coat. After I realize that you were a Pericrafter and that you seem to love wearing skirts and I love skirts. I absolutely love hats and I mostly wear hats in the summer. Unfortunately, I develop an allergy to wool and I was forced to give so many of my beautiful hats to Goodwill store. I wish I knew about you, I would have happily given you all my fabulous hats because I know you would have appreciated them. I appreciate your love of color,and your simple yet elegant style. I subscribed to your You-Tube channel to watch your sewing classes. After watching the first two classes I recommended your channel to my daughter so that she can learn to sew. Congratulations on the fantastic growth of your channel and the best is yet to come.

Hi Anita, I found you on youtube while searching for sewing lessons. I feel so blessed that I ran across you! Your tutorials are outstanding. As a new sewer with the basic skills- you have given me the courage to actually make a garment! I have straight sewed such as in quilting, but you definitely gave me the courage to try! You are refreshing- love your channel and now subscribed to your Blog. God Bless You- <3
Hi Anita,I found your page on instagram and loved it.You made me dust of my sewing machine and go pattern shopping at Hobby Lobby. My mom sews for a living and while I can do some really simple stuff I regret not paying more attention as a kid and learning from her. You’re my new teacher!!!
I noticed your blog on Carla Jacob’s Facebook page. Love your knowledge and designs.
I first found you on YouTube. I am blown away by your success – so glad and extremely happy for you. You must know I am following you and doing your tutorials. The videos are fantastic. Couldn’t have done it without your assistance. A huge thank you! Presently I am trying to make the pencil skirt with dashiki fabric!
Hi Anita. I found out about your blog from YouTube. But I found you on YouTube when I was looking up sewing projects. I am so glad for your tutorials. They are very detailed and the projects are fun.
Congratulations Anita…I learned about Anita by Design through a search on YouTube. The video I watch as your first posted YouTube video “Beginners Sewing Course Information Video”. I appreciate your positive energy especially as I begin my sewing journey. Keep up the good work.
Hi Anita ,I left a comment on your Youtube channel but I forgot to tell you that i subscribed. My name is Jeannie Jones, I’ve just started back sewing and I often go to Youtube to watch videos to refresh my memory or to learn something new. I also like to watch fabric hauls. I have become addicted to buying fabric.Lol. I just happen to come across your channel and you turned out to be perfect.Great new Motto, Glad to know that you are a believer. Maybe that’s why your beauty shines on the inside as well as outside. Can’t wait for more tutorials. Thank You!
I found your blog and youtube channel from one of your post on Facebook. Loved you creations and style.
Anita love your YouTube podcast. I’ve been sewing for a long time; currently I’m revamping a skirt and was looking for dart placement info and you podcast came up in my search. I’ve all your videos.
I just posted about how grateful I am to have found you and am beginning to sew. While I have some background, I by no means am considered intermediate. I forgot to tell you how stunning you looked at your son’s graduation. That dress is so lovely. Since I’m a beginner, do you think that would be too difficult for me? I really love, love, love it. JoAnn’s has Simplicity patterns for $1.99 for the next few days and I’m thinking of purchasing it for the future. Thanks so much.
What a blessing you are, Anita. I found you while searching videos for beginning sewers. All the ones I viewed claimed to be for beginners but assumed we all had background in selecting a pattern, measuring our body, reading the pattern, choosing the amount of fabric to purchase, etc.. While I do have some background, I was so grateful to see your attention to all the details from the very beginning. You remind me of my dear mother who always said it’s the details that people don’t notice but if you skip those steps, your garment will scream HOMEMADE. She will be so happy I’m finally learning to sew professionally instead of the sloppy manner I always did. I raced through a garment, didn’t press until the end and my garment did scream HOMEMADE. As a result, time and money wasted because the garments were so hideous that I couldn’t wear them. Thank you for taking us by the hand and walking us step by step with attention to every detail. Mom will be so proud of me; God bless her soul.
Congrats!
You inspire me to try sewing! Oh My!
I learned of you from FB…a friend shared a post.
Hi Anita! My name is Evetta and I learned about your beautiful and informative designs by watching sewing videos on youtube. I switched over and have been hooked ever since. I adore your new motto. It is very inspiring. Keep doing what you are doing and blessings will continue to come. I love your videos. They are very thorough and informative. Thanks!!
Hello! I was already subscribing to your you tube channel for a couple of months. I found you posting on a few Facebook sewing groups & decided to google to see if you had a channel, blog, etc. Love your teaching style & how you remember us beginners! Thank you!
Hello Anita,
I can’t remember what took me to your instagram page. I just recall how excited I was to see you stepping out in/on “FAITH” to begin your sewing journey. I have pretty much followed you from day one.
The black dress with the 1955 red truck was when I realized I was “HOOKED”. Your style is so Audrey Hepburn(ish) “Breakfast at Tiffany’s”. You are such a classic beauty and spirit and it radiates in all you’ve done so far.
I have enjoyed the tutorials and have watched them over and over again. I look forward to seeing how your journey continues to grow.
May GOD Continue to Bless You and Your Family!!!!

Wow! Congratulations on your 2K subscribers! You deserve it!
I come across you by accident. I was looking for tips on how to sew something (I can’t remember at this time). Although I have been sewing for a few years now, I was interested in your beginner sewing course. The quality of your videos and the excellence in your teaching style was a joy to watch. I watched most of them in two days.
Thank you so much for sharing your love for Almighty God and your love of sewing with the world.
You truly live your motto: “When you live in your design, it is from there that God shines!”
Hello Anita, I found out about your blog and your Youtube channel while doing a search about beginning sewing. I just completed my Master Degree in Higher Education and now have time to devote to my craft. I like to think of myself as a do-it-yourself type of person. And of course your name attracted me as well, since I too share your name. Thank you for putting this blog and your channel together, I truly feel blessed to have found it. -Anita
I just subscribed last week. You Tube found you for me! I was looking to refresh my sewing skills to work with my hand woven fabrics.
I recently got back into sewing and was looking for beginner projects. I’ve mastered sewing clutches but was afraid of sewing garments. After searching on YouTube for beginner sewing projects I found your channel – and WOW. I love how you break down EVERYTHING. Thank you so much…. And I love the new motto!
Congratulations Anita!

Congrats to you on your 2K subbie milestone! I found you by God’s grace an answer to prayer. I was looking to get back into sewing and began praying and searching for someone who is relative and willing to share what I call “gifted industrious hands”. I stumbled upon your YT channel and am so thankful I did. You are a breath of fresh air and I always look forward to the posts and you are truly helping me enjoy a new me. I pray God continues to opens doors in which no man can close for you and the floodgates of Heaven overwhelm you so much you do not have enough room to receive all He has for you..Thank you so much for your willingness to share your gift. Whether I win or not the giveaway..I have already won by finding your tutorials. Thank you.
