How to Sew by Hand

[@thingsofsuch]

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!

[@gritsteel4559]

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 KZbin and this is the first video I saw, and it sure is helpful.

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.

[@Thewoodlandelf]

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.

[@100GTAGUY]

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

[@Thewoodlandelf]

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.

[@100GTAGUY]

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.

I also found sewing weirdly cathartic and fun, so when I'm in my 70s I'll have something to do!

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.

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!

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?

[@Thewoodlandelf]

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.

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.

2:30 i don’t get this part. theres no loop. my thread keeps coming out when im done sewing and i feel like im too dumb for this

[@Thewoodlandelf]

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.

The part where I'm holding the needles?

[@jamein7164]

Yes you could've been pierced by the needles easily

[@Thewoodlandelf]

You're pretty safe when they're laying flat like that. It's when you turn 'em on end that you gotta watch out, lol 😉

I usually hate living in the digital era but being able to learn things like this makes it worth it. Thank you for the video.☀️

[@Thewoodlandelf]

Glad you found this to be a good part of the digital era 😊 Happy sewing.

[@andrewprevite380]

Thanks for the basic video for Basic people like me to understand. I watched 5 videos and understood nothing still than came to yours and now feel like I understand how to do this more. Thanks.

[@Thewoodlandelf]

Glad to hear you found this easy to understand 😊 Happy sewing.

[@lexatexa103]

I sincerely needed this, thank you so much! My grandmother taught me how to sew properly when I was a child but now that I'm all by myself I needed a bit of a refresher

[@Thewoodlandelf]

Glad you found this refresher helpful 😊

[@ACE3CGL]

THANK YOU!! I've had a lot of projects where I wanted to sew something and thought it I was going to need a machine and it was going to be so complicated, but your tutorial couldn't have been more simple and educational. Truly appreciate this!

[@Thewoodlandelf]

Glad you found it helpful and easy to follow 😊
