What the hell is wrong with your mums? You keep doing what you want to do! Sewing is an amazing skill to learn. I K lye just started learning now at 24 and wish I started earlier
My mum was insisting that I learn to sew even though I didn’t want to, (and she hasn’t taught either of my brothers 🤨) so I’m watching this so I can look skilful 😌
lol, I've admit I've also used staples when I've been a hurry. But as far as threading the needle, make sure you've got one with a bigger eye, cut the end of the thread so it's smooth, and then lick the thread to smooth it out even more. It sticks all the little fibers together and makes it go through the eye easier.
The Woodland Elf oh believe me I was looking everywhere for a larger needle but with no luck haha, I tried licking it and had no luck with that because I have shaky hands. I dunked the thread in some water and stuck it in the freezer for a bit and that did the trick for me lol. I have a newfound respect for those ole timers who can do all this in mere seconds like its nothing.
A 6 year old video and it’s still helping people, thanks a lot! I’m wanting to start making my own plushies and there’s a different sewing technique I saw for that but this one is turning out WAY better and cleaner, so again, thank you!!
@@JetPaws I’ve made 3, the first was didn’t turn out well but they other two turned out pretty good, I mostly just need to work on measurements and things lol. What about you?
So, I am a man, I haven't sewn a thing (correctly) in my life. This was so easy to follow and presented in a manner that leads for easy recollection. I don't think I could forget now that I have seen this video and I have no doubt that this should help others in the future. Skills like these never get old or out of fashion. In time, we may lose it all, but, with these skills or memories we can still have clothing to wear and pockets to keep our sewing kit in!
haha, same, here a man. Well, I just wanted to sew my metal music patches on my denim vest myself, and this video will help me a lot when I start doing it. I was looking at portable sewing machines, and one review said detail is better if sewn by hand (or by a professional with a professional machine of course). So here I am looking at CZcams and this is the first video I saw, and it sure is helpful.
I cannot express my thanks! I'm 16 and my dog had previously chewed a hole in my comforter, my parents being as busy as they are either forgot or couldn't sew it up for me, it wasn't a problem until it got dirty just now and needed a wash, I didn't want the stuffing to fall out so I looked up "how to sew" and your video popped up, hopefully my patch job holds up in the wash! I also found sewing weirdly cathartic and fun, so when I'm in my 70s I'll have something to do!
Glad it was able to help you repair the blanket 😊 You're absolutely right, there is something cathartic about hand sewing. It should be a form of therapy 😉
I taught myself how to sew and I thought it was about time I learned properly and it turns out how I've been sewing is the way you just showed. However that beginning trick with putting the thread through the loop before the knot is genius and I will be doing that from now on so thank you. Also this is a wonderful tutorial that is very easy to follow for beginners so keep it up :)
I've been knowingly sewing wrong for my entire life and I could have so easily fixed it by just watching a 6 minute video. Lol thank you that was incredibly informative
OMG, finally a video I can actually follow!!! Thanks for helping this 35-year-old woman who's never successfully hand-sewn anything before LOL following your video, I managed to mend a small hole in my jacket!!! Thanks so much!!!!
Im low income in a high income california city so ive grown up thinking "unique clothes are owned by money". Ive now come to the realisation that unique clothes come from a soul and love into your clothing. Im gonna use this to add some stars to my favorite hoodie, gonna be my first step into making my clothes as me as i want. Thank you girl! Hope youre having a fine life all these years later Edit: just found an embroidery stitch video and MAN i have a lot to learn. This is gonna be an adventure to learn about/pos
Hope you have fun making your clothes more you. I've always made my own clothes as well. I always figured, why follow fashion trends when you can set them yourself 😉
I don’t care what anyone says, as a man I believe that everyone should know how to sew. Sewing is such a useful skill to have, there have been times where I rip my pants and instead of throwing them away, I’ll repair them. Also, it’s helped whenever I’ve made costumes for special events like Halloween contests or pranks.
100% agree! It's a life skill that's so valuable for everyone. They should spend more time teaching it in school, because it's something people can use for the rest of their lives.
Thank you for this. As a 40 year old dad and a former teacher, you just taught me something I definitely need to know in which I've never attempted to do and was, honestly, too afraid to attempt.
Glad you found it helpful in finally tackling it 😊 Hopefully it seems much less daunting now. Honestly it's such a great life skill; sewing is something they should teach more of in school.
Thank you so much, i have these nice pair of pajamas that were ripped down the right side of my left leg and i was able to fix them properly because of you. Have a nice day.
Even though my Mom sewed, I never tried to learn as a kid. Now, many decades later I sew something now and then and I do the best I can, but never knew the right way to tie it off at the end until now. Thank you for that. :)
Lol, yes, we do crazy things for cosplay. Try licking the thread first. When it's wet it's easier to thread. And if that doesn't work, dip the end of the thread in water and then freeze it.
My great grandma just gave me her old sewing box (a huge tackle box full of stuff). Thanks to this video, I used to repair a pair of sweatpants. Great video, very helpful!!
Thank you so much...you just taught me how to stitch and sew properly which other CZcamsrs including my parents failed to teach me. May God bless you Ma'am
I like this. This is how my mom taught me, the double thread, the knot at the end, even gathering the fabric and sewing multiple stitches at once. What memories. Thank you. And I now know what a double eyed needle is. Thanks again.
Thank you sooooo much. I fixed my wife’s favorite shoes by watching this video. It was my first time and she was so sad when the back strap broke. Thanks to this video I was able to fix them for her
This was a great video. You couldn’t have made it any clearer or easier to follow along. I learned to hand sew in a home economics class during middle school. Fast forward almost 25 years later and I couldn’t even remember where to begin lol. Thank you for the refresher.
You explained carefully what my mother (who doesn't sew much) tried to explain to me. I'll be ripping apart my quilt block sample and redoing it correctly. Thank you so much!!!! I feel much closer to my grandmother now. 👌😁😸
You know what, you’re a real life saver. My mom just bought brand a brand new couch in white and one of my little brothers dropped water on it, so being the intelligent 13 yr old I am I decided to dry it with a blower. It burned the couch. As I was fearing for my life I stumbled across this, thank you.
I... I'm embarrassed to say I NEVER have tied off the end when I start sewing. I didnt know you were supposed to have the two tails together!? And I also didnt know you had to TIE THEM BEFORE YOU START!? IVE ALWAYS JUST TRIED TO TIE IT AFTER AND HOPE FOR THE BEST!!
Don't feel bad, when I first started sewing, I didn't know anything about tying knots either. Sewing is like any other skill. The more you do it, the better you get at it.
thank you! i was always frustrated with my beginning and end knots. This makes it super simple. i also love that i now know to do a second row to make a full line which makes it super secure, i can now put my work in the washing machine without it coming undone lol
Thankyou so much. My uniform has had this terrible ripped pocket. i had to cut out the cloth and now learn how to sew. And now i can sew anyones uniforms if i can master this new art.
Nice tutorial on running stiches. I like to very gently turn the garment right way out and try the clothing on before I reinforce all the stitches by backsewing. That way the thread is easier to remove if I have to make an adjustment for fit or for whatever reason.
thank u so much! my mom always just told me that i’d figure it out myself. i never knew that i had to double back and i had NO idea how to tie the knots. i have been doing it so wrong! lol. thanks! i’ll be using this video a lot
You saved me, I used to be into making clothes and what not, and promised my little sister I’d make her her first communion dress, she held me up to that. It looks wonderful!
Thanks for the video. I sewed up a foot long tear in a bathrobe; my first thought was to throw it away but my mom has tons of thread in a closet full of other junk, so I thought I'd give it a try. First timers should probably use a thread that's very visible. The thread I chose matched my robe almost exactly so it was a little more difficult. Also, a good of a way to gauge how much thread to use, like twice or three times the piece you're working on. Below, I read a comment+a reply to this exact concern. Tie off and continue where we last left off was suggested. Anyways, thanks!
my adhd just decided to hyperdixate on sewing even though i dont know how lmfao but im glad this video exists! now i can make a cute plush for my friend
This helped a lot. I just tried to tailor/slim down my t-shirt sleeves and I practiced on an old t-shirt. I was only going in with the needle on one side and it didn't come out great. I'll try your technique instead tomorrow!
I am completely new to this!! I’m just borrowing my Moms’s sewing supplies to fix a hole in my favorite stuffed animal. Edit: I found out it’s easier to sew if I get the stuffed animal a little wet with water. Don’t soak it just put a little water around the hole. It will need time to dry though.
This is my first time mending hence this video absolutely helped me learn the basics on how to sew. Thank you for the clear instructions and explanations Miss.
Yup, it's pretty easy once you get down to it. I used to sew everything by hand until I got a machine. Hand sewing takes a bit longer, but honestly it's a bit more relaxing too, because you can always doing while watching a movie.
I have a crotch hole in my kitchen pants. It's my only good pair and I can't even get the thread in the needle 😭..... I did it. My sewing looks horrible but it will get me through lol
Pro tip if 'kitchen pants' means you're a fellow cook/chef: Go to a Goodwill or second hand clothing store and get slacks or chinos that fit your waist. I've gotten pants for like $6 that are too long but fit very well everywhere else. Measure your legs, trim the pants, hand sew a new hem. Now you've got expensive looking tailored kitchen pants for $6 and an hour worth of work.
I had never hand sewn or used a sewing machine (i'm in my thirties) because my Mum told me that I would not be able to do it even though I was never shown how to or given the materials/ information to do it. Turns out I can do it and learn very quickly by watching this very brilliant and helpful video. I'm now hand sewing all the time and I have also started using a sewing machine by watching CZcams videos. Just to say that your video on hand sewing is the best i've seen and i've watched a few.
You: *closes start of thread by knotting it through the loop* Me, who only knows how to start a stitch single-thread style (i.e. two stationary backstiches and optional knot): *surprised pikachu face*
I learnt how to sow years ago but never used it outside of fixing a few holes. I always just used the method where you make a knot after every stitch, but that wouldn't be sustainable for bigger projects, especially since I want to learn how to make clothes. This video is very easy to understand with clear instructions and clean presentation
Because I don’t know how sewing works, can you run out of thread? Like when you tie it at the end when you’re threading the needle, do you have to know how much thread you need or did I miss something?
Nope, you don't have to know how much thread you need. Just put some thread on your needle, and then when you run out of thread, you just tie it off like at the end. Then put some more thread on your needle and start sewing again right next to where you finished the first piece of thread. All the knots will be hidden on the inside of the material, so they won't be seen. If you have any other questions, let me know.
My mom isn't very supportive and she hates sewing so I wanted to learn myself
Thank you very much for this video!
You make it look so much easier!
Same lmao my mom walked by and saw me watching this and was like eww
What the hell is wrong with your mums? You keep doing what you want to do! Sewing is an amazing skill to learn. I K lye just started learning now at 24 and wish I started earlier

Why would someone Hate this
I know why would someone hate this
I've been trying to thread a dang needle for well over 35 minutes now, I'm about to start stapling what I need to fix lol
lol, I've admit I've also used staples when I've been a hurry. But as far as threading the needle, make sure you've got one with a bigger eye, cut the end of the thread so it's smooth, and then lick the thread to smooth it out even more.

Me: I wanna make a dress.
Me watching this, thinking i just needed to know what to do at the end: maybe i haven’t thought this through
Don't worry, once you get going it gets easier. It's before you start that it seems most daunting.
I was thinking the same thing...
IKR, my dumbass decided it’s go big or go home with a whole ass ballgown
SAME
Ahahahhaa same
I've been thinking about picking up sewing during spare time. It seems like something fascinating to do with my spare time.
It is. I find it frustrating at times but still oddly therapeutic
Spare time
Trust me, you have plenty of spare time

almost six years later and this is still the best sewing tutorial on CZcams! To the point; no subscription/channel pushing. Thank you!
Glad you're still enjoying it 😊
I love sewing. I’m glad my mom taught me how to do it when I was younger. Nice tutorial. I’m sure other people will learn from this channel.
😊
After 54 years I finally know how to tie off properly! Another thing ticked off the bucket list. Thank you.

Glad you found it helpful 😊 It saves a lot of money being able to repair one's own clothes.
Never sewed anything in my life, but this video opened my mind to a whole new thing! Also fixed my pillow. ☺
Thank you so much, i have these nice pair of pajamas that were ripped down the right side of my left leg and i was able to fix them properly because of you. Have a nice day.

I learned that years ago but haven't sewn anything in years. Thanks for the refresher course.
Glad to help 😊
As a beginner this was extremely helpful and straight to the point, God bless you!
Glad you found it helpful 😊
I like the way you say tight. It's tight
Lol, thanks.
Finally a nice and simple explanation. Thank you very much.
amazing guide, teached me what my mother couldnt in 26 years. amazing skill to have as a single dad - thank you so much for making this video.
Glad you found it helpful 😊
TYSM!!...I fixed this dress I just bought and love....now I'm stitching everything in my closet 😂🥰
Glad you've found so much use for your new skills 😊
my adhd just decided to hyperdixate on sewing even though i dont know how lmfao but im glad this video exists! now i can make a cute plush for my friend
This helped a lot. I just tried to tailor/slim down my t-shirt sleeves and I practiced on an old t-shirt. I was only going in with the needle on one side and it didn't come out great. I'll try your technique instead tomorrow!
Just know that u helped a lot of people and made a lot of moms proud 🥰
Thanks so much 😊 Glad you found it helpful.
Finally, a video to just learn the BASIC sewing method.
Happy sewing 😊
I am completely new to this!! I’m just borrowing my Moms’s sewing supplies to fix a hole in my favorite stuffed animal.
Edit: I found out it’s easier to sew if I get the stuffed animal a little wet with water. Don’t soak it just put a little water around the hole. It will need time to dry though.
Finally someone who can teach this without using the entire dictionary and making me question my vocabulary
Oh my goodness thank you! I’ve been wanting to hand sew for such a long time now i can!😁
Glad you found this helpful in your quest to sew 😊
This is my first time mending hence this video absolutely helped me learn the basics on how to sew.
Thank you for the clear instructions and explanations Miss.
Glad you found it helpful 😊
I'll be doing this since my sewing machine doesn't work atm. Very helpful and easier than I thought.
Yup, it's pretty easy once you get down to it. I used to sew everything by hand until I got a machine. Hand sewing takes a bit longer, but honestly it's a bit more relaxing too, because you can always doing while watching a movie.

I have a crotch hole in my kitchen pants. It's my only good pair and I can't even get the thread in the needle 😭..... I did it. My sewing looks horrible but it will get me through lol
It just takes practice. The more you do it, the better your sewing will look.
Dude use the goddamn threader
Pro tip if 'kitchen pants' means you're a fellow cook/chef: Go to a Goodwill or second hand clothing store and get slacks or chinos that fit your waist. I've gotten pants for like $6 that are too long but fit very well everywhere else. Measure your legs, trim the pants, hand sew a new hem. Now you've got expensive looking tailored kitchen pants for $6 and an hour worth of work.
um, what are kitchen pants? Can I get some?
I had never hand sewn or used a sewing machine (i'm in my thirties) because my Mum told me that I would not be able to do it even though I was never shown how to or given the materials/ information to do it. Turns out I can do it and learn very quickly by watching this very brilliant and helpful video. I'm now hand sewing all the time and I have also started using a sewing machine by watching CZcams videos. Just to say that your video on hand sewing is the best i've seen and i've watched a few.
Glad you found it helpful 😊 Sewing is such a wonderful thing, I love sharing it with people.
I just went out to buy double eyed needles and tried this. 1st attempt trial out repairing a hole in a sock. So far so good. Thank you for your help
Glad you're finding it helpful 😊
You: *closes start of thread by knotting it through the loop*
Me, who only knows how to start a stitch single-thread style (i.e. two stationary backstiches and optional knot): *surprised pikachu face*
I just love your voice so much
Thanks 😊
I learnt how to sow years ago but never used it outside of fixing a few holes. I always just used the method where you make a knot after every stitch, but that wouldn't be sustainable for bigger projects, especially since I want to learn how to make clothes. This video is very easy to understand with clear instructions and clean presentation
Thanks, glad you found it easy to follow. Happy sewing 😊
Thank you for making this! I know it’s a simple concept for most but I’m a knitter in a sewing world and I needed this!
Hello,how are you doing my friend?
Because I don’t know how sewing works, can you run out of thread? Like when you tie it at the end when you’re threading the needle, do you have to know how much thread you need or did I miss something?
Nope, you don't have to know how much thread you need. Just put some thread on your needle, and then when you run out of thread, you just tie it off like at the end. Then put some more thread on your needle and start sewing again right next to where you finished the first piece of thread. All the knots will be hidden on the inside of the material, so they won't be seen. If you have any other questions, let me know.
The Woodland Elf Okay, thank you so much!
