Learn to Hand Sew! Three Stitches You Can’t Sew Without

[@alessioporto2668]

From a middle-aged, male beginner, thank you so much for this very thorough tutorial. I especially appreciate how you pour your heart into it :)

[@sewncompany]

Thanks for your kind comment! I’m glad it was so helpful to you!!

[@TheIllcaster]

I will second this gentleman's sentiment. Thank you for the easy to understand tutorial.

[@Uncle_Steve71]

Agree 100% almost 50 and just learning.

[@marybillups8901]

Very nice to have older men learning to hand sew. Thank you for your tutorial. Beginner hand sewer, here. Electric sewing machines intimidate me, so I’m learning about hand sewing, while saving up for either a hand cranked or a treadle sewing machine. UPDATE: As of yesterday, I’ve brought home an antique treadle sewing machine. Singer Model 12, made in 1877. The elderly gentleman who sold it to me even sat at the machine & showed me that it worked. First thing I did was take all of the thread out & learn how to thread the shuttle, thread up the machine & the needle, today I will thread my bobbins. This treadle sewing machine only does a straight stitch, so, learning all the other stitches will need to be done.

[@taimatsuko]

I’m a middle aged beginner too! Good for us!

[@annmeyer7610]

I want to thank you so very much. You are the ONLY one on the whole internet teaching this the way we might have learned from our grandmother. Your instructions are thorough and historically accurate (I'm confident you are). No one explains the way you do. I have been buying books, even vintage early 1900s books written for school teachers. But your videos cannot be beat. What a great gift this is. Thank you for your careful teaching and demonstration. I will watch every video over and over, while practicing. Please do more !

[@denisepettit8534]

WOW, what a great comment! i will also be checking out her other videos.

[@faithwalker5196]

You are a gifted teacher. Well done. Thank you for not having annoying background music. Thank you for getting right to the instruction, for your clear explanations, and for beginning at the beginning.

I am a tailor (Savile Row's school). Happy to see someone that is still using the thimble. Best wishes.

[@sewncompany]

I appreciate it! It is one of my favorite tools. It is (as you know) so vital if you’re going to construct clothing with needle and thread. I’ve gotten to a point where I really can’t sew without it. All the best to you!

[@florenna]

Love your defence of hand sewing!! :) I hate machines & don't own one, so hand sewing it is. Only, most people seem to think hand sewing is for crazy people only, or those with way too much time on their hands, both annoying attitudes. As you say here, hand sewing came first, machines only after, in fact a lot after, as *everything* was hand-sewn up to about 1860!

[@ItsyBitsyChelly]

Thank you so much for this. I want to be able to be mobile when I'm sewing. I also figure humans went without a sewing machine for so long, why do I 'need' one. So happy to have found your channel!

[@sewncompany]

You’re welcome, that is fantastic to know. Hand sewing is so great to move around with. You are so right- It’s how people sewed for longer than a sewing machine has been around. I’m so glad you found my videos. Happy sewing!!

[@rosariacarlostella9105]

I’ve moved to Singapore and couldn’t take my sewing machine, serger and all the paraphernalia I have at home, with me. I miss making clothes and thought it would be a challenge to sew something entirely by hand. You’ve given me hope that I can do it. Going to give it a try. Very excited. Thank you 🙏🏼

My grandma recently passed away and collected thimbles, which the grandchildren are getting. Thank you for demonstrating how to use it so I can remember her each time I put it on. ❤️

[@sewncompany]

I’m sorry to hear of your grandmothers passing. Using the thimble is a beautiful way to connect to her!! I love that so much. ❤️

[@irmar]

Remember that this is only one way of using the thimble. Many, many people push the needle with the top of the thimble, not the side. You get much more "power" this way.

[@XtraSparklesPls]

@@irmar good for thicker fabrics like drill cotton or denim.

[@patriciajrs46]

Sweet.

[@Tzuriah]

Thank you for finally showing me the secret to my grandmother’s even stitches 🤣! Whenever I’ve had to do a little hand sewing, I would try and try to get my stitches small and even like hers were, to no avail. When you explained how to get backstitches even, I understood how she did it, especially when you showed your finished stitches!!!

[@1notstressed]

I was in my (eek!) forty’s when I learned “hand sewing” was “couture!” Wish I knew that back in my Barbie cloths making days. I was quite good. And this is when I fell in love with the Art ❤️

[@kylepothoven9986]

Been doing leather work for some years but when the little one asked if i could sew her Halloween costume that she accidentally ripped i had to turn to youtube. Watched a couple videos but this one was amazing and i felt like heart and soul went into it. Im no expert after watching it, but i feel great that my daughter has a mended costume 🙂

[@sewncompany]

I’m so glad this video helped you mend her costume! Yes- a lot of love went into this. I love handsewing and love spreading that love!

That's so funny I just read a comment above just like mine. For a 50-year-old dude who's never learned to sew You've been my first sewing teacher! Now I can sew back the bottom halfs of my half shirts that I used to think were so trendy. Haha!

[@Javaman92]

What a surprise to find the first two comments I see also from guys. I've worked with my hands all my life as a woodworker and other various crafts and being curious and self sufficient I thought I'd check this video out. I hear so often people putting down the young people of today, videos like this are proof that there are plenty of young people doing cool things. Keep up the good work. You are so right, hand work does connect us all.

[@deb664]

Thank you.I loved how you paused to collect your thoughts. You didn’t act silly or edit it out. Thank you. This certainly has encouraged me to do more by hand just for the calmness of it. Thanks again.

I have nothing but thank you's for your excellent video! I'm a 68-year old male retired teacher, who has been sewing, knitting, and crocheting since I was 13, but I learned a couple of new things from you: knotting thread so easily, and using a thimble, as you illustrated. I deeply appreciate your information, since I just started back sewing. Bless you for the beautiful gift that you have!

[@gmr1241]

Thank you for this! I love to hand sew. Running to the sewing machine is not always the best option.

[@patriciajrs46]

I'm not a beginner, but you didn't make it condescending. Thank you. I do know how to sew by hand, but I watched for the tips. Thanks.

[@violette4841]

My goal last year was to improve all my sewing skills: sewing clothes and embroidery. Our school lacked enough sewing machines and the teacher spent all her time on the advanced sewers, the rest of us had to use hand stitches. My ex-military father taught me to mend and a neighbor or two taught me to knit and embroider (all as a child). I got my own sewing machine later and started copying store bought clothes and they don't hand sew. Seeing you reminded me of my former school and family training. Good job. I just watched what is now called slow sewing. It ended up being the stitches you are showing. Wonderful and interesting techniques to embroider and to do buildings in your design. Some did applique crafts using the stitches too.

[@cindykq8086]

You're right about people in public being fascinated with hand sewing or crocheting. I usually crochet while waiting to see the doctor, and once I looked up to see everyone watching my hands as if they were all hypnotized. It was funny and cute. BTW, what you call a hem stitch, my mother called a running stitch but her hem stitching was different in that the stitches that show on the right side were tiny and hard to see because she only picked up 2 or 3 threads. It takes longer but looks nice.

[@janetbrown267]

I’m so excited to find this channel! I didn’t get to learn from Aunt Mamie and MaKitsey how they sewed their clothes so invisibly. Also, I appreciate the THIMBLE directions! My mother used the tip, rather than the side and her ring finger. I have tried for decades to make that work for me, to no avail. I’m going, this instant, to sort through all the new and ancient thimbles I have inherited to see if there is one that fits me. Surely at least one of my ancestors had fingers like mine.

[@maggiedoor6093]

I'm 67 and learned sewing in school, hand and machine sewing. I had a treadle sewing machine at home. If I need tension hand stitching , I single pin the fabric onto a cushion on my lap and then sew, moving the pin as needed. Works great for hemming, or any stitch.

Anyways, could you do more videos for beginners and things that a beginners can start sewing? Thank you for your patience and easy instructions.

A side effect of compulsory military service in the 1970's was that you left the army with an obsession for perfect ironing and with the skills to use a needle and thread for clothing repairs, darning socks or sewing on buttons. Without ever having received even a minute of instruction, I had to work out how to hem trousers, fix rips in clothing, sew on name tags and rank patches or sewng on buttons. Thanks for this, I always thought I should notch up my basic skills by another level.

[@cziegle3794]

So happy to have found this video in particular. Wish I'd known about your videos over two years ago by now. I had a sewing teacher pair of women who were absolutely the wrong fit for me, and things went downhill for me because of a few arguments with my mom regarding an incident between myself and one of the two women. Really it was mild and not a big deal, my mom and the woman just thought I was deliberately ignoring or being dismissive of her in the grocery store at the checkout aisle of all places, when really I was just distracted by unloading the cart onto the register because there was another customer behind us so I was distracted. I wasn't don't anything wrong, but I was the bad guy and it was like the last straw for me because I'd already gotten sick of sewing because I wanted to do more than what they were teaching, and I needed help a few times at home but mom couldn't help me, so I just gave up on sewing for a long while. I think if I'd had your videos back then, I would have gotten back into sewing much sooner because you explain things so well. Keep the videos coming please - I'll definitely watch them even when I'm not sewing anything because it's just fun and relaxing for me to watch stitching videos
