A home for sewists at any skill level
New to sewing? Start with the basics and three simple projects. We’ll take it one step at a time.
Sewn for years? Learn to fit your clothes to the body you actually have. Draft your own block, a basic pattern made to your measurements, then design from it again and again.
Already have a block? We’ll show you how to use it.

Hi, I’m Izzy
I’m the founder of IzzoSew. I grew up in Nepal, where clothes were made by local tailors and designed for real bodies. That early belief that clothes should fit the person, not the other way around, still shapes everything I teach today.
After 15 years as a chartered landscape architect, I retrained in patternmaking and garment fitting. Since then, I’ve created 150+ tutorials for Minerva and welcomed more than 1,000 sewists to our classes and events, from complete beginners to sewists of many years.
My approach is simple. I help you understand the why behind every step. So you can stop guessing, solve problems as they come up, and sew clothes you love to wear.
What members say about learning with Izzy
“The IssoSew Online Studio is a real gem. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced sewist, there's something here to help you build your skills and confidence, and you can learn at your own pace. The lessons are clear, comprehensive, and easy to follow. What makes it stand out is Izzy. She's engaging, knowledgeable, and warm, making it feel like you're sewing with a friend. There is nothing else to match this invaluable resource for anyone who loves sewing. I always come away feeling motivated and excited for my next project.”
– Fi, Jul 2026
I've been sewing for many years now, so I wondered if the app was worth it. It so is! For absolute beginners, there's a step-by-step guide right from equipment to basic sewing techniques and projects. Although I've been sewing for many years, I've never had a go at pattern drafting, thinking this would be beyond me. Izzy takes you through creating a basic block quite early on in the beginner videos; she explains everything so well and gives you confidence that before you know it, you can be creating your own block!”
— Sarah, Aug 2026
“As a recent convert to the joy of sewing I have only ever used commercial patterns and was convinced that I couldn't possibly design my own. I gave the free trial of IzzoSew Studio a whirl and I am a total convert! Izzy makes the process of designing easily accessible and possible, with easy to understand and follow along videos, taking you by the hand for each step. Honestly, way way more fun and brilliant than thought possible!!!”
– Sue, Jul 2026
“Your one-stop app for all things sewing. Beginner to beyond advanced, this app will show you more than you thought possible Clear instructions, friendly videos, enjoyable community and regular live chats are among a few of the options you'll find in this app. Don't think about joining; just dive in and start to enjoy a new sewing journey”
— Alice, Aug 2026
“If you missed out on sewing lessons at school, or have made clothes and have been disappointed in the result, then you need to sign up to the Izzo Sew Studio!
From comprehensive tips on how to start sewing from scratch, to careful, thoughtful lessons on pattern drafting, there is something for every level of sewer from complete beginners to experienced seamstresses. And with the price of clothing today ranging to hundreds of pounds a dress, why not sign up and learn to make something that fits you properly and costs you much less?
Izzy is just the perfect teacher, and you will also be able to join the community and gather advice from other sewers who may have experienced the same problems as you on the sometimes frustrating road to sewing!”
– Tracey, Aug 2026
“I am an absolute beginner and the videos that I have watched so far have been nothing short of excellent! So clear and easy to follow, all bases covered and a really good pace. You have such a warm, calm and down-to-earth manner and your injection of humour into your videos really helps to put the viewer at ease. I'm passionate about learning to sew but I have a lot of anxiety and have had a lot of stops and starts, and therefore frustration because of my inexperience, but the videos break things down into logical, bite-sized chunks and make sewing projects feel completely achievable. It's great to have the videos to watch any time I want to and in the comfort of my own home which allows me to be fully in control of my own sewing schedule. I can also rewatch and rewind as many times as I need to. You don't have this privilege when you are in a physical class and when you are very new to sewing it can be hard to keep up. With your videos I feel like I finally have what I need to start my at home sewing projects.”
– Pat, Sep 2026
“I have finally made a block that fits and look forward to taking that further.”
— Catherine, Jul 2026
“It’s everything I was looking for. I felt confident from the first lesson and super pleased with the results.”
