TYSM! I ordered some things and my shirt came ripped. I figured I should sew it but my mother wasn’t home, so I did it myself! This is a very good tutorial, I was afraid that I wouldn’t be able to understand but everything was super clear! Again, thank you!!

Thank you for the tutorial. I'm over 50 yo man and trying out my first ever hand sewing for my bag. Found one-eye thread fixing 2:34 and backstitch 7:40 very helpful for beginners like me. Not as neat but does the job.

It's a bit funny but when I was younger and in the military in the navy, I had to sew quite a few of my own ranking and rocker patches. I had no idea how to sew and didn't know anyone who could do it for me or could show me. It was a trial by fire but I unknowingly used the running stitch for everything almost exactly how you demonstrated. I thought that once I was able to get back to shore and find a place that could sew my patches, I'd have to have them redone properly. As it turned out, the patches were very solid and would take more work getting the stitches out that I never had them resewn and never had to. Craziness, lol. It's nice to know I actually did them correctly and now, watching this I know how to hem up some armchair covers I made and furniture covers. Thanks :)

Thank you. Now I have to try it. 😬 🖖🏻🍀

Today I will attempt to repair a fanny pack. I'm sure your great tutorial will come in handy. Thanks for uploading and helping out a divorced single guy with zero homemaking skills.🙂

Thanks for this tutorial. I was looking up Polish ones but they were lackluster and skipped basics I didn't know, which was frustrating. Yours is just what I needed, so kudos to you!
