How to Sew by Hand

A lot of my tutorials involve hand sewing, so had a request from "Ron" to do a tutorial on how to sew by hand. So here are the basics of hand sewing for those who have never done it. Not only does it come in handy when your sewing machine is on the fritz, it's also a lot more relaxing way to sew if you have the time. And it's great for those places that are hard to reach with a sewing machine. There are other ways to hand sew as well, this is just a tutorial for how I do it. A lot of people like to use the backstitch to cover a seamline, but I prefer to just do a double running stitch as I demonstrate in the how-to, that way if one thread breaks, there still a second one to hold everything together.

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

My mom isn't very supportive and she hates sewing so I wanted to learn myself
Thank you very much for this video!
You make it look so much easier!

[smalltownbigheart]

my mom passed away last year never taught me how to sew so im watching this thank you :)

[goodmorning]

I'm not even a minute in and I discover that there is such a thing as a double eyed needle. XD

[tahiesha]

So simple and the use of Orange and black made it so easy to see. Thanks!

A 6 year old video and it’s still helping people, thanks a lot! I’m wanting to start making my own plushies and there’s a different sewing technique I saw for that but this one is turning out WAY better and cleaner, so again, thank you!!

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!

I've been knowingly sewing wrong for my entire life and I could have so easily fixed it by just watching a 6 minute video. Lol thank you that was incredibly informative

[no_social_skill]

I cannot express my thanks! I'm 16 and my dog had previously chewed a hole in my comforter, my parents being as busy as they are either forgot or couldn't sew it up for me, it wasn't a problem until it got dirty just now and needed a wash, I didn't want the stuffing to fall out so I looked up "how to sew" and your video popped up, hopefully my patch job holds up in the wash! I also found sewing weirdly cathartic and fun, so when I'm in my 70s I'll have something to do!

Finally i can brag something to my mom.

[marissaward]

I've watched 10 different videos trying to figure out how to do this! You are the only one who what put everything in one video. Thank you!!!

6 years later and still teaching people to sew with this great easy to follow video. thank you!!!

[Anime_King_Forever]

I taught myself how to sew and I thought it was about time I learned properly and it turns out how I've been sewing is the way you just showed. However that beginning trick with putting the thread through the loop before the knot is genius and I will be doing that from now on so thank you. Also this is a wonderful tutorial that is very easy to follow for beginners so keep it up :)

[MrAridamanSingh]

Hold up I didn't even know that you had to make the knot at the start and the end, thank you so much for this!

8 year old video and still helping people like me. First time I sewed something in my life. Managed to fix a torn seam in an expensive (polartec alpha) hiking fleece. I'm super pleased since you don't even see it from the outside. Thank you!

[apophisca]

I'm a 17 tall ass dude learning to sew... *BECAUSE ITS A WONDERFUL SKILL*

[gracecrafttv]

I love sewing. I’m glad my mom taught me how to do it when I was younger. Nice tutorial. I’m sure other people will learn from this channel.

I'm a 44 year old man watching this video at midnight in August of 2021. Thank you for posting this video! I finally know how to sew!

[zeenniie]

Never sewed anything in my life, but this video opened my mind to a whole new thing! Also fixed my pillow. ☺

[superbookseller]

After 54 years I finally know how to tie off properly! Another thing ticked off the bucket list. Thank you.
