Sonia Kaur Manak brings hand-finished Punjabi and Indian tailoring — phulkari embroidery, salwar kameez, bridal suits and intricate alterations — to clients across the United States, alongside step-by-step tutorials for over 2,600 stitchers online.
Hello, I'm Sonia — the creator behind Stitch With Sonia. Sewing has always been more than a skill for me. It's a passion, a creative outlet, and a way to help others feel confident designing and creating their own garments.
Since launching my YouTube channel in December 2020, I've shared close to 200 tutorials guiding learners through every stage of garment-making — from taking accurate measurements and cutting fabric, to stitching professional-looking outfits with confidence. I'm now based in the United States, which means clients across the US can commission custom, hand-finished Punjabi and Indian garments without long international shipping timelines, while I continue teaching stitching online to students everywhere.
I believe anyone can learn to stitch with the right guidance — so every lesson is built around these five principles.
Simple, step-by-step explanations
Practical demos with real fabric
Easy-to-understand technique
Affordable, no fancy equipment
