TEACHING MY FRIEND TO SEW!

[@cathyswope5174]

When you have been sewing for decades you don't realize all the things you do subconsciously while using your machine. This was fascinating to watch. You are an excellent teacher, calm and patient.

[@CatherineSews]

Thanks so much, Cathy! I fully agree about how much of it is subconscious. It's hard to remember what beginners need to learn!

[@charlottehayward5943]

I taught a 13 yr. Old to sew last summer. We made 3 tops and learned how to use the machine.

[@bhallmark3390]

I envision teaching my older daughter to sew someday. Her paternal grandmother gave her a machine for college graduation, which took place in 2004! She got married and has an 8 year old son now, but has never felt she has the time yet to sew. I’m hoping to get her interested to begin very soon! You are such a calm and patient teacher…💕

[@CatherineSews]

It would be wonderful if your daughter learned to use her machine, but I totally understand how busy life is with small kids! Thanks for your kind words❤️

[@auntellie602]

I’m so jealous; i wish i had a friend who sews to teach me!

[@CatherineSews]

Yes, Lindsey and I had so much fun!

[@lupitamagana9931]

My mom learned on her own and when I was little used to see her make us shorts and stuff always wanted to learned but she would never let me near her horse that’s how she called it and I was so sad now that I’m 46 my best friends got me my first Virginia that’s my sewing machine name and I was in tears cuz always wanted one but never had the courage to buy one not because I didn’t have the money but because I wanted it so bad was scared of me failed to learn so I got on it and guess what all of me seeing my mom doing it was like a fish in water I still struggle with the cutting of material and measurements and stuff but I have teach my sis how to make little things and we are learning as we go love u Catherine cuz u show me I can do it now my mom says it’s because o me yeah mom is all u like mother like daughter jijiji 🤭 now my sis bought me a newer sewing machine I love it even more so don’t be afraid the world is yours to conquer thanksgiving ❤

You are a great friend to teach your friend to sew on a machine that you have never seen before! I'm impressed. I'm also watching closely because I want to teach my grandchildren (ages 6 and 9) to sew this year. But on my machine and with my choice of fabric! BTW, I have issues with the self threader on my machines too--I usually just thread them the old fashioned way.

[@CatherineSews]

Awww, thanks, Mary! Best of luck teaching your grandchildren to sew. That's a very worthy pursuit!

[@uavizonline]

I've also wondered why people go backwards at the beginning of their sewing. Glad she asked that.

[@CatherineSews]

Yes, that's what I was hoping for from this video, that Lindsey would ask the questions that I wouldn't otherwise think to explain. I think she nailed it!

[@rachelwatson1188]

I'm really glad I found your channel. You are such a good teacher. Watching your videos is giving me confidence to try sewing again for the first time in years.

[@vivianramsay2527]

Just finding your channel. New subscriber! Pulling a marathon catch-up viewing! Whew!! I'm loving your teaching and great demonstration technique! Thank you for your up-cycle videos , so important and timely! More later when I come up for air !😅😁

[@CatherineSews]

Thank you! That's very gratifying to hear. I'm so happy to have you on board!

The kitchen scissors ✂️ ❤️

[@janetdiciacca9743]

Please can you show me how to make the trousers your friend wants i love them

[@ginette2100]

You are absolutely awesome teacher, step by step with patience specifying just enough so the person is confident. Great job. It's an european machine so it's in centimeters the 15 is for 15mm or 1.5 cm equals 5/8 in.

[@TheSuzberry]

I’ve sewn for 6 decades and learned something before you were 5 minutes in. Please, could you do the two-needle lesson?

[@CatherineSews]

Such a sweet comment, Suzanne! Here's a video I did on a double needle hem: kzbin.info/www/bejne/imaoXmqZqtBmh5Y

[@AngeVPV]

I love your videos. Great teacher!

[@Maplecook]

She's AMAZING!

[@CatherineSews]

Awww, thanks so much, Maplecook!

[@CatherineSews]

Glad you like them! Thanks so much!

[@belieftransformation]

Fun vlog & refreshing! Thanks for sharing!

[@Kitten_Maru]

I bought a serger 5 years ago. It's still unopened in a box, because I don't know how to use it and am too afraid to break it while trying to figure it out on my own. I wish I had a friend like you hahaha :D

[@CatherineSews]

Mar, please check out one of my early videos about getting started on your serger! kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z3bMZXd8n6p0b8U I also have this one: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z5-xmYGBg8iGbac It's time to get to know your new BFF, your serger!

[@hjccontest]

You mentioned...a person doesn't know if it is them or the machine.....i have been sewing, off and on, for 55 years and i still don't know who has the issue.....but am thinking it is me!!!!! Which is so bunk.

[@joerivanlooy5165]

fraid for filming the pedal suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuper funny

[@joerivanlooy5165]

the best way for beginner sewwers operate the pedal always barefoot

[@elainemartin5784]

Why has a person who cant sew or use a machine got a fabric stash. It's just not normal. I hope she listens, as Catherine has some good tutorials

[@katieduffy593]

Did your friend ever make those trousers???!

[@CatherineSews]

Oh dear, I don't think so! I haven't been a good sewing buddy!!

[@katieduffy593]

@@CatherineSews 😂😂

[@christopherbell5502]

Such a good friend but her machine was a little too squeaky for you lol

[@CatherineSews]

Yes, it definitely was!

[@joerivanlooy5165]

lot of grip when you sew barefoot
