Hand Sewing Tutorial (RIGHT HANDED): Backstitching

[@Maddie9185]

No wonder cloths were expensive before sewing machines were invented. Imagine doing a whole outfit this way.

[@Name-ps9fx]

They had a lot more time back in those days...no internet, no radio, no concerts 7 days a week....just work, home, and friends. Real friends, not "FaceBook" friends.

[@R.Oates7902]

Going back even farther, no electricity! Imagine that!

[@kellyvaters1689]

Not all sewing was done with the steady back stitch. For long stretches of fabric which would not be strained while wearing (such as skirt side seams below the hip), it was common to use a running stitch which allowed for multiple stitches to be sewn in one motion, with backstitches only occasionally as well as each end of the seam.

[@gwenculver1040]

Ikr. I’m learning how to do this to make a lining for a bag I crocheted. I can’t imagine doing this for an entire outfit. Especially one that has so much fabric like old clothes do. Those massive skirts would take ages for me to make

[@juliebarnett9812]

When I i was young, I i hated hand stitching. Now? I love it. Thank you, Grandma! 🧵

[@cyndifoore7743]

This is the stitch used before the creation of the sewing machine when clothes were made by hand. It’s a very strong stitch and looks beautiful when done.

[@janetoler7938]

@Cindi Foore That was the second stitch my mother taught me to use when I started making doll clothes.

[@ruhi_neet1864]

I agree but stiching straight is so hard

[@gamesinfoprofile]

YES! It's like popping bubblewrap but at the end, instead of having a wasted sheet of plastic, you have a new item.

[@nitya5529]

So true , it's very therapeutic for me.

[@TheRoadhammer379]

I am a long haul trucker, I haul steel and other flatbed commodities so my clothing gets a beating. I don't have room for a sewing machine in the truck so I hand stitch... a lot 😂. I put on music or a show on the TV and just sew up holes, sew patches and I have been known to taper and hem some of my jeans, all with hand stitches.

[@paulinewqi]

Remember that in school, we didn't have sewing machines, so, we were all taught the backstitch. We hand stitched blouses, skirts, aprons. Every line of stitching was inspected, must be straight and even, else undo every stitch to redo.. I enjoyed every needle work class...it was like foundation of my sewing background

[@georgebeckons539]

That sounds really nice because those skills aren't taught in schools anymore. I wish I could've been taught in school but at least there's youtube.

[@paulinewqi]

@georgebeckons539 new life teacher is now KZbin...but must use one's discretion...💝

[@amechealle5918]

I’ve been sewing 54 years. Started at 6 (yes 6) went on to work for 3 well known fashion brands and have loved sewing since day 1! My favorite is hand stitching which my Grandmother taught me. She hand stitched quilts (not one stitch by machine) she would make big money with her quilts. These days I make plushie dolls for kids (hand stitched) . There is nothing like knowing the dolls I make are so loved. My 18 year old niece still has the doll I made her 12 years ago (first doll I made). I have a small sewing box that I take with me because there’s always some kind of wait which gives me more sewing time. I love that there are videos like this teaching people the basics of sewing so they too can enjoy the art of sewing! 💕💕

[@hanananah]

As a leftie I'm appreciative of the (RIGHT HANDED) label. When I was first learning I would always hold my fabric the same orientation as everyone else and could not for the life of me figure out why I was struggling so much. Once it hit me that I just had to turn it around I felt so silly. Story of my life though: learning to tie my shoes was a journey.

[@sewncompany]

You’re welcome! Did you see the (LEFT HANDED) version?

[@user-mv9tt4st9k]

Fellow leftie, here. I had similar experiences learning to hand sew, embroider, or crochet. @Sewn Company: Oh my goodness... you did a left-handed version. How wonderful.

[@sewncompany]

@@user-mv9tt4st9k yes! All my tutorials have a left and right handed versions 🙌🏻🎉💗

[@saritshull3909]

I still can't knit and I strongly suspect it's because of the LHS RHS situation

Nothing more satisfying than a tutorial video that goes straight to the point without long-winded, boring introductions that make you lose interest in the video from the very beginning before you even get to learn something. GREAT JOB!! This is a great video!

[@sewncompany]

Thank you!! I really don’t like it when KZbinrs talk about nothing for 10 min. Glad you appreciated this!

[@chuzzthefuzz1908]

So true! Long-winded, totally irrelevant introductions madden me but you just get into it and give us what we need.

[@Rita_unteathered]

I agree wholeheartedly..

[@Madonnalitta1]

My thoughts exactly.

[@slartimus]

Oh, wow. _Technically,_ I already knew how to backstitch, but keeping my stitch line even and straight has often eluded me. The tip about the tail being halfway between where the needle goes in and comes out just absolutely _blew my mind_ for how much simpler it was than I had expected. I haven't actually tried it out myself yet, but a big preemptive thank you!

[@luismiguellopez4004]

I have two engineering degrees. This has always been an obscure wizardry to me that only a few chosen ones could understand. Thanks for the video!!!

I have two sewing machines and an overlock. I prefer hand stitching, I find sewing a new pattern by hand helps me feel the design better.

Great memories learning from her. 💕

This was one of the first stitches I learned when I started quilting with my mom and grandmother. It came in quite handy for repairing dolls, bears and camels when my kids were young and for stitching treasured dog and cat toys back together after some rough play. All in all, I’d say it’s the best stitch for hand sewing.

I hated sewing class in school but I love jewellery making and fashion styling so it never made sense why I had such a hard time back then. Either I had a bad teacher or was just too much of a mopey teenager, because all the avoidance around stitching vanished once I followed this. Thank you so much, I've just learnt a new valuable skill - actually life changing ❤

Thank you so much for this amazing tutorial. It's so detailed and easy to follow. I'm all thumbs and also can't stay focused for a long time but thanks to your video I was able to save my outfit for the day~

[@sewncompany]

You’re welcome!! Yay for saving your outfit!! 🎉💗

[@clivetolley8642]

Easy to follow the clear thread of the presentation, which is right to the point. At school in sewing lessons I made sure to sit on a table with five girls, figuring they'd know how to do things much better than I could (shocking, I know), so I never learnt anything. Thank goodness for KZbin and people willing to share their skills, now I actually need it.

[@kimesquadra7358]

thank you for this! i can finally thrift my old clothes

Wonderful!! You’re welcome!

Was thought to hand sew as a child,I still know understand to used a sewing machine,so I used my hand to repair a tear or other sewing on clothes sometimes,but I am also glad to learn new hand sewing techniques.

[@antonboludo8886]

I am horrible at sewing, even after watching these tutorials. I have to admit I am deficient in this area.

[@lizbonosavestheday]

Okay great

[@emmatyler4375]

I just wanted to say something so you had an encouraging reply to your comment. Sewing isn’t something I’m very good at either, and it’s ok to recognize the things that don’t come as easy to us. In fact, it reassures others that they aren’t the only ones. I think that’s great and so are you. 😊

[@berry_x0x0]

It's okay if sewing doesn't come naturally to you right away. I'm not the best myself, but it doesn't mean you should give up! Mistakes are a part of life.

[@karlyross2871]

My mother got me a brand new sewing machine for my birthday this year so I can make my own cosplays! I'm starting here, to kind of help with my very poor fine motor skills and this video was very helpful. Hopefully I'll be sewing soon!

[@thalix582]

It's shocking how hard ot is to find good, clear, quick stitching tutorials. This was clear, didn't waste time with any nonsense and showed everthing needed (especially starting and tying off which most tutorials I found just do too fast or skip altogether). Thank you.

Thanks so much for this video! I've been watching Sashiko & Boro stitching videos and am inspired to do a garment all handstitched...and your video gave me a clear view and tips for handsewing a seam. I also appreciate the short preamble. Thanks again!

[@auntoneyofuntease6704]

How does KZbin know that I know how to sew? I never watch or search for anything related to sewing. But I did watch and find the information useful.😊😊😊

[@tobe3940]

Hi! You're a life saver! Any and all sewing tutorials on YT seem to need a sewing machine which is not owned by all people out there.

[@kiwifeijoa]

A clear presentation, you must be quite experienced to pick out the essential elements in this way, was impressed with your comment about the thread bisecting the distance between the front and back of the needle. I really enjoy sewing with just a needle and thread, it has become much easier over time, and just finished replacing a zip by hand for the first time, heady business indeed. Haven't looked into the world of historical sewing yet, but can see it must be very interesting. Great video, thanks.

[@sewncompany]

Thanks for watching! I used to work at a museum hand sewing 18th century English system clothing everyday for 10 years. That really developed my skill. I am so glad to pass it on. I love hand sewing and find so much benefit to it. I’m glad you are enjoying it too!

[@rachelmunoz]

This is an absolutely wonderful video. Very clear instructions, no extra fluff, filmed slowly enough to understand (for me a beginner), and a joy to watch!

[@clairebordeaux]

THANK YOU so much for this! It’s simple, on point, easy to pick up, and looks beautiful & sturdy. Your stitches look so professional!💖

[@ladyolinden]

I’ve never been able to hand sew really, I rely on my machine but want to get better with hand sewing. Not only did I learn about how to do this stitch, but I learned the ACTUAL use of a thimble. Always knew they were for handsewing and protecting the finger, didn’t realize you use them to move the needle at times… This video is fantastic! I learned so much and the camera work is amazing, the words direct and understandable! Great work!!!

[@sewncompany]

Thank you!!

[@katzwhite5962]

Neat stitching, very well explained and very therapeutic to watch. I'm having very challenging times in my life and videos like this are a godsend. They really do help my mental health. So thank you very much.👍🏿🙏🏿UK 🇬🇧

this is simply the best and most helpful tutorial i've seen so far, many people make 10 minute videos to teach one simple stitch you could learn in less than a minute, your demonstration was very clear and straight forward, i didn't even turn the volume up to follow the instructions beacause the visuals are so clear and simple. in short, thats a great video thank you very much

[@sammohong6677]

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED VIDEO!!!... Ive never appreciated a hand sewing video as much as this one i learned so much. i am a beginner only for ripped fabric at home purposes so i occasionally watch videos but i only watched 4 in total before this WINNER i was clueless before but now this is stuck in my mind and i will never forget how to sew and end the stich HIGHLY RECOMMENDED VIDEO FOR ANY PURPOSE!!!

Thank you so much!!

[@sethescope]

not sure if you, the maker of this video, were the one to add the captions or if someone else did, but I'm glad they are there either way. sometimes it's just easier to read and watch what the hands are doing instead of needing to process information by hearing it.

[@choke666]

OMG THANK YOU! .... I watched 3 other videos trying to learn a seam stitch for my Halloween costume and I came out of each more frustrated and confused than the last watching a 15min video and getting no real directions or tips in any of it .... I watched your 5min video and learned more than i did in the 30mins of multiple other videos i tried to learn from.... Thank you so much your very clear and direct and that makes it easier to learn in a big way.... your amazing thank you.
