Thank you for the tutorial. I'm over 50 yo man and trying out my first ever hand sewing for my bag. Found one-eye thread fixing 2:34 and backstitch 7:40 very helpful for beginners like me. Not as neat but does the job.
Thank you so much for this video. I've been wanting to learn how to sew by hand but have been nervous about starting. Your instructions are so clear and easy to follow that I have confidence I'll be able to do it!
Preparing to retire and want to learn skills that I have craved and needed to learn for many years . These simple stitch videos are the perfect start, inspiring and exciting. Thank you Jessica! I'll stick around to learn more from you. Cheers! James
I've sewed on & off since I was a child and into my teens. Getting back into it after 10 years, you might say I'm a little rusty. Thank you for the video!
TYSM! I ordered some things and my shirt came ripped. I figured I should sew it but my mother wasn’t home, so I did it myself! This is a very good tutorial, I was afraid that I wouldn’t be able to understand but everything was super clear! Again, thank you!!
This is the exact video I am looking for beginner guide for hand sewing. Thank you so much! I already saved the video for future references. Bless you.🌷
Thank you so much for this video! I am a total beginner and this has been very helpful! All I need to do now is find some random cloth, thread, and neeld and start practicing. I'm very excited to start! 😊
Honestly this video shocked me. Not because sewing looks easy but because you are such a great teacher that you make it look easy!! Thank you❣️ going to try to start sewing as a new hobby
I have a 4yo son who wanted a husky plushie so bad .5 days after it came it ripped a little and your video was extremely helpful..I sewed it while my baby is sleeping..he is going to be so happy tomorrow morning
Today I will attempt to repair a fanny pack. I'm sure your great tutorial will come in handy. Thanks for uploading and helping out a divorced single guy with zero homemaking skills.🙂
Fantastic beginner tutorial! Thank you! I just want to be able to sew felt embellishments on garland, wreaths, and swags; and maybe repair some things, and to be able to sew and use it for Halloween costumes. Not for whole costumes, just piece meal. So this is the perfect tutorial.
This is so helpful, thank you!! My high school got rid of home economics so I was never able to learn about sewing. I've begun teaching myself basic techniques so I can mend & hem my clothes without buying a sewing machine, and this video is so useful. Thank you so much!!
Thank you so much for this tutorial! I tried crocheting a long time ago and it was too hard for me, so I decided I wanted to start sewing, and since I’m kinda a dummy at learning these sorta things you made it very clear and easy for me, thanks!❤
Thank you so much! What would you like to see? I need to do a "how to sew on a button" one for sure. I'm also planning on doing a bunch of machine sewing tutorials as well.
Thanks for this tutorial. I was looking up Polish ones but they were lackluster and skipped basics I didn't know, which was frustrating. Yours is just what I needed, so kudos to you!
This video is so wonderful and helpful. I've been wanting, for years, to learn how to start sewing, but it always seemed (or seamed heh) so difficult. I get overwhelmed with things easily- so for the longest time I've just never tried. But recently I told myself I was going to commit to 𝘵𝘳𝘺𝘪𝘯𝘨 to learn, even if it failed I had to try, and I found this video. The way you teach it is so easy to understand, and not overwhelming to me at all, and it's making me a lot more confident about learning! Thank you so, much!
used the running stitch to fix a small section (maybe 1.5 inches) that came apart on a new sweatshirt of mine. didn't feel like going thru the hassle of returning it, especially since it was a cheaper one and it felt wasteful to do so. thanks! think i stitched a little too tightly and on the wrong side but overall looks great (in my opinion) for my 1st time sewing
It's a bit funny but when I was younger and in the military in the navy, I had to sew quite a few of my own ranking and rocker patches. I had no idea how to sew and didn't know anyone who could do it for me or could show me. It was a trial by fire but I unknowingly used the running stitch for everything almost exactly how you demonstrated. I thought that once I was able to get back to shore and find a place that could sew my patches, I'd have to have them redone properly. As it turned out, the patches were very solid and would take more work getting the stitches out that I never had them resewn and never had to. Craziness, lol. It's nice to know I actually did them correctly and now, watching this I know how to hem up some armchair covers I made and furniture covers. Thanks :)
I think it showed how to tie a single thread. I was confused at first because how does it stay in the needle but the only explanation I can come with is that you just hold onto the other free thread while you sew making sure it doesn't slip out of the loop. It would definitely be nice if someone explained this.
You take one end of the length of thread and guide it through the needle hole then line both ends up evenly and make a knot (with the needle hanging at the center of the whole length of thread) then start pushing the needle thought the fabric and it drags both sides of the thread through at the same time!!
Are you referring to the little bit of thread that is near the end by the knot ? If so, you just leave it there ! 🙂 If not, please specify and I might be able to help
Very helpful and well made video, thank you! I feel like the knot I make at the end of the stitch tends to seem kinda loose and not lay close to the fabric. Is that normal or is there a way to avoid that?
Oh how funny! I learned to machine sew on computer paper. Never would have thought to practice hand sewing on toilet paper! You would have been crazy to do that during covid. 😂
Thanks! After having a really cheap, garbage sewing machine for a couple years now, I'm definitely getting rid of it (putting it in the TRASH where it BELONGS) and just doing the small tasks I wanted it to do by hand. I used to have a nice Brother machine, but lost it in a move, so I can say for sure that those $40 mini machines are utter junk that is literally more work than doing it by hand. It's not user error. You spend so long correcting the machine's flaws and faults, and fighting with tangled threads, and on and on, that it ends up being so much more e time and headache on it than if you just did THIS, stitching by hand. 🤦♂ Also as a plus size person, I gotta say 99% of the clothes made for larger people are made by absolute morons who don't know anything about what it's like to BE a plus size person, or how the clothes feel ON you, or how they look. Fashion is full of buffoons in this regard. I would LOVE to get back into sewing, because I so hate manufactured clothes. Even as I lose weight, I don't think that's going to change. I'm so sick of buying a tee shirt only to have the pattern peeling off three months later, or a blouse and the seam is popping within less than a year. And the constant, endless sea of polyesters and things that pill and uuuugh. My point is... at this point it would be so much better to make my own clothes, even at the speed of 'by hand', than to keep getting crap from stores.
You can try a leather thimble and some silicone needle pullers. There will still be a risk of getting poked. You would be much less likely to get poked with machine sewing, so maybe you can try that instead.
As a 46 yo man, who has been hand sewing in my semi truck for 27 yrs, I can't believe how so many people find sewing difficult. This shows how far we have devolved, people are in the comments crying about not understanding how to tie the thread.... like really, this isn't brain surgery.
Rather we should be encouraging people to ask more questions, no matter how simple the answer may seem to others. Considering how attainable and automated so many aspects of our livelihood are I think it says something when people are willing to learn to do so much with their bare hands, whether it may be sewing or gardening or literally anything else
Ppl really suck at teaching . U showed putting thread through the needle but didnt tie the other end. So now im sitting here with one end notted. It says for beginners but you are traching it as if someome know what to do already. Im a man. Idk how to sew worth a dang

I just successfully sewed work gloves that were tearing back together, thanks to you! 😅
I'm making a last minute Halloween costume and this video is great! You explain things so well and your voice is very relaxing.
Thank you for taking the time to make this video!
as a dude this is awesome and very useful for someone who's got very little experience with a needle and thread
So glad it was helpful!
This tutorial was so thorough and wonderful! I appreciate the effort and time you put into making this to help us beginners out, thank you so much!! 💞

Thank you for this tutorial. You explained it very clearly and I look forward to any more you do.

This is really wonderful! Sometimes it just doesn't make sense to pull out a sewing machine.
Im gonna cry why are u so good at dis
Thank you-My sewing needles went missing, and this made me feel as if I could continue my thoughts of continued Sight of dress cares.
Thank you for this! Very consise and easy to follow. I lent my top to someone and it came back ripped so i needed a reminder on how to fix it :)

So glad! Such a handy skill to be able to mend small issues like that!
This was perfect, I am self taught and this really really helped me. My sewing machine just broke and I just have alittle bit to go on my blanket 😭
Haha I'm also here because my sewing machine broke

Love this . Explained perfectly
Is it just me or did you not show how to tie the thread into the needle?
I think it showed how to tie a single thread. I was confused at first because how does it stay in the needle but the only explanation I can come with is that you just hold onto the other free thread while you sew making sure it doesn't slip out of the loop.

@@proverbwoman5591 pretty sure this a double threaded needle.
I was wondering the same thing. How does the stitch stay solid if there's a loose thread?
I was searching for it😂
This was extremely helpful for me ❤❤❤❤
Thanks Jessica 🙏
Thank you! This was exactly what I needed! ❤
Thank you so much you taught me how to sew
Thank you. Now I have to try it. 😬 🖖🏻🍀
So what happened to short part of the thread in the beginning? Why does every single video do this?
Are you referring to the little bit of thread that is near the end by the knot ? If so, you just leave it there ! 🙂 If not, please specify and I might be able to help
Ty for this video! I was going to make a early Christmas present for my little brother ❤
Thank you so much!!! ☺🤗
VERY, VERY HELPFUL! ANY CHACE YOU COULD DO A VIDEO ON HOW TO MAKE A PAIR OF SUSPENDERS?
Very helpful and well made video, thank you! I feel like the knot I make at the end of the stitch tends to seem kinda loose and not lay close to the fabric. Is that normal or is there a way to avoid that?
Omg it helps me tysm for teaching me!! :))
Perfect for us men who just want two fabrics to hold together. Straight to the point. Fixed my gym sack in five minutes.
Thank you , it really helped me❤
My grandmother would give me toilet paper to practice my hand seeing on. I'm so awful at hand sewing 😂
Oh how funny! I learned to machine sew on computer paper. Never would have thought to practice hand sewing on toilet paper! You would have been crazy to do that during covid. 😂
That was wayyy easier to do than I thought. Had to sew my dogs toy -_-
Do you have a video on how to make a hand sewn pillowcase?
(Just Asking😅)

thank you!!!
Thank you so much..
How much thread should you leave on the short end?
Used this to sew up my school jumper sleeves lmfao
how do you keep it in place so that it doesnt come loose?
Nice content
I was taught to double the thread to make a stronger hold! Is that necessary?
It’s not necessary but it does make a stronger hold ^^
Emma school Of Music in London and a member at Oxford Music School is also
Why is it every video on UA-cam no one actually explains how the fuck the thread stays on the needle.
hey you need to make a knot 😕
Does it matter if I use large eye needs compared to small eye?
You just don't want the knots to slip back through the hole the needle makes. As long as that doesn't happen, you should be okay.
I have to sew a large piece...that means i have to pull a huge piece of thread through every time? Seems like there should be another way
I wanna try learning to sew, but I’m scared of being poke by the needle. How you do it when someone has a fear of needles.
You can try a leather thimble and some silicone needle pullers. There will still be a risk of getting poked. You would be much less likely to get poked with machine sewing, so maybe you can try that instead.
1/8th of a inch 1/8!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But ty, trying to fix my daughters shoes :D
Oh am making a fursuit..
i cant cook, i cant knit, i cant crochet, but at least i can sew i guess😅
As a 46 yo man, who has been hand sewing in my semi truck for 27 yrs, I can't believe how so many people find sewing difficult. This shows how far we have devolved, people are in the comments crying about not understanding how to tie the thread.... like really, this isn't brain surgery.
Asking cause I’m trying to sew a dress by hand- what kind of stitch is the most secure? Cause I wouldn’t want the dress to fall apart.
Everyone starts somewhere. Be nice!
Rather we should be encouraging people to ask more questions, no matter how simple the answer may seem to others. Considering how attainable and automated so many aspects of our livelihood are I think it says something when people are willing to learn to do so much with their bare hands, whether it may be sewing or gardening or literally anything else
Took me a while and a bit of frustation to insert the thread thtough the needle 😂
That can be a struggle for sure. A needle threader can help!
Gulgowski Keys
I tryed doing it and it didn't work lier
🤯🤯🤯
i quit mid sewing
Ppl really suck at teaching . U showed putting thread through the needle but didnt tie the other end. So now im sitting here with one end notted. It says for beginners but you are traching it as if someome know what to do already. Im a man. Idk how to sew worth a dang
I show how to prepare your thread with a knot at the beginning around 2:36. Is that what you need help with or something else?
you go way too fast
Not helpful at all. If I'm watching a sewing tutorial it's because I don't know how to sew. Literally explain it. Don't just show me.
She did explain it. Maybe
A. Listen
B. Turn your audio on
Dude I learned how to sew because like a package just came into my brain And then like I just know how to sew I did not even need To watch your stupid video I just learned how to sew Out of nowhere
