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.

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!

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.

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.

@Thewoodlandelf6 жыл бұрын
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.

Ok so when you threaded the needle, you get two tails right? So you tie a knot in the end of the tails. Then when you put the needle in the fabric, don't quite pull it through all the way. There will the spot between the fabric and the knot in the thread on the two tails. Slip the needle in between those two tails. That's the "loop" I'm talking about. That will stop your thread from coming out. Hope this helps. Let me know if you still need more help.

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.

Now you've got expensive looking tailored kitchen pants for $6 and an hour worth of work.

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.

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.
