Handsewing 101: Sewing a WHOLE Top by hand!

I did it! I sewed an entire top by hand! My sewing machines were thoroughly neglected (except the serger) and they were very sad about it! I hope you enjoy!

I love hand sewing simple garments like this! One of those in the bed listening to an audiobook/podcast with a cup of tea activities! Perfect way to wind down, loved this video!

You go girl. You definitely deserve a pat on back.

The shirt was a beautiful one and it was beautifully created - job well done!!!👍

BEAUTIFUL, just beautiful. I remember when I didn’t own a machine and sewed everything by hand.

Woow Lydia, you got great skills to sew an entire garment by hand. The top looks really good. I can see my wife wearing your design.

this is so helpful thank you! Its so hard to find tutorials of hand sewing. I can't afford a sewing machine and am hoping I can do this!

[eleanormakin]

This was so relaxing to watch. I personally love how quick a sewing makes putting a garment together but I still really enjoyed watching this ❤️

Thank you, this is what I 've been looking for. Real hand sewing. Most of them are only basic knowledge and I don't know how to do them. This one helps! Thank you. Your video is simple, clear and has a beautiful voice. I appreciate your sharing.

Don't know if I have the patience to do an entire garment like this but it sure was interesting to watch. I learned something. Thanks for sharing!

[nomiharper]

Wow! Not only are you extremely patient, but also diligently precise and thorough. Very pretty too too.

What a restful enjoyable video! I love how the top turned out and I love to sew by hand, so relaxing. Thanks for sharing.

I hand sew as much as machine sew since I became acquainted with Natalie Chanin’s work. She works with cotton jersey, but I’m feeling this linen. You did such a beautiful job and I love that pattern!

[DawnLeslie]

I really enjoyed your video. I like to hand sew but have never made a garment.

[mayramendoza]

It's beautiful!!!! Look at you girl!!! Overachiever!!! I admire you and your talent!! ❤️ God bless!!!

[ollievendor]

[jovanad]

I watched this video several times, you created such a beautifil garment (not only by hand sewing butbeatifully balanced high-low hem and perfect amount of fullness in this boxy shape). I was wondering if you plan to release this sewing pattern soon? Thank you!

[Verana]

You're so fun and relaxing to watch ☺️

The best thing to do is to watch a podcast while sewing. Ha! That's what I'm doing now - sewing my blouse while watching your tutorial!❤
