They had a lot more time back in those days...no internet, no radio, no concerts 7 days a week....just work, home, and friends. Real friends, not "FaceBook" friends.
Not all sewing was done with the steady back stitch. For long stretches of fabric which would not be strained while wearing (such as skirt side seams below the hip), it was common to use a running stitch which allowed for multiple stitches to be sewn in one motion, with backstitches only occasionally as well as each end of the seam.
Ikr. I’m learning how to do this to make a lining for a bag I crocheted. I can’t imagine doing this for an entire outfit. Especially one that has so much fabric like old clothes do. Those massive skirts would take ages for me to make
I am a long haul trucker, I haul steel and other flatbed commodities so my clothing gets a beating. I don't have room for a sewing machine in the truck so I hand stitch... a lot 😂. I put on music or a show on the TV and just sew up holes, sew patches and I have been known to taper and hem some of my jeans, all with hand stitches.
Remember that in school, we didn't have sewing machines, so, we were all taught the backstitch. We hand stitched blouses, skirts, aprons. Every line of stitching was inspected, must be straight and even, else undo every stitch to redo.. I enjoyed every needle work class...it was like foundation of my sewing background
Nothing more satisfying than a tutorial video that goes straight to the point without long-winded, boring introductions that make you lose interest in the video from the very beginning before you even get to learn something. GREAT JOB!! This is a great video!
Oh, wow. _Technically,_ I already knew how to backstitch, but keeping my stitch line even and straight has often eluded me. The tip about the tail being halfway between where the needle goes in and comes out just absolutely _blew my mind_ for how much simpler it was than I had expected. I haven't actually tried it out myself yet, but a big preemptive thank you!
This is the stitch used before the creation of the sewing machine when clothes were made by hand. It’s a very strong stitch and looks beautiful when done.
As a leftie I'm appreciative of the (RIGHT HANDED) label. When I was first learning I would always hold my fabric the same orientation as everyone else and could not for the life of me figure out why I was struggling so much. Once it hit me that I just had to turn it around I felt so silly. Story of my life though: learning to tie my shoes was a journey.
Fellow leftie, here. I had similar experiences learning to hand sew, embroider, or crochet. @Sewn Company: Oh my goodness... you did a left-handed version. How wonderful.
@@saritshull3909 Please give it another go with the necessary guidance - life would be so much poorer in my experience, we’re it not for knitting and crocheting!
I love your comment ‘as alway remember to sit up straight etc etc’. A lot of crafter get in the moment and forget to sit up straight etc. It was a great reminder and your voice is so calming and gentle 😊
What a beautiful and functional stitch. And thankyou for immediately starting your tutorial without the usual annoying 5 minute rambling that we have to endure with so many other videos. Great job!

No music at all (it's super disturbing go me😅), no unnecessary long introduction, and great explanation! That's the perfect video for me!! I've actually watched that video last year and I came back to say that I became addicted to hand stitching because of you and I'm greatly advancing in my hobby. So thank you! ✨✨
So I'm a newbie when it comes to sewing , and I'm also about to be a new grandma and I wanted to make my newborn grandson his own baby blanket until I realized I don't know how to sew.... 😅 So I watched MANY sewing " how to's ", and they were just not helping. Then I found this video and found it to be very easy to follow ... so I'm about to start my baby blanket, and we'll see how it turns out. I'll post pics when done. Thanks for your video 😊
I'm hand stitching my blocks by hand for a baby's blanket. Hand Stitching Quilts is a lost art and I want to do it 100% by hand to include the Quilting detail once the blanket pieces are put together. Thank you for this tutorial. I think this stitch will make my blanket squares stronger!
What a wonderful project!! I’m so glad this will be helpful. I would also recommend this stitch too for piecing: th-cam.com/video/3pRtOLrzheg/w-d-xo.html Happy Sewing!!
My grandmomma used to hand stitch quilts all the time. It really is a lost art! My momma also sews too, but she's never sewn quilts. She'd sewn clothes and crochets. I've learned from my mom how to crochet and how to sew and crochet as well! It's so relaxing. :) I'm also crocheting a baby blanket at the moment!
Excellent tutorial! I took a machine sewing class a few years ago. When I was done, I gave away my sewing machine. I still wanted to sew. Glad I found your channel. Also glad there's no distracting background music in this video. Thanks again.
@@dshe8637 nope. my fashion classes were sadly very little hands-on, we were held responsible for “learning by ourselves” at home then applying it in class which was almost 100% TH-cam based..I can count on one hand the amount of times we had a hands-on demonstration like by our professors that’s why I left and continued to be self-taught from home lol
@@Mari-it2de damn that fashion school don't sound that good lmao but tbh they probably just expect you to know basic sewing if you're getting into a fashion class
I'm teaching myself how to sew in order to one day teach my 7 yr old daughter how to sew as well because she wants to be a fashion designer 😍 this tutorial was simple and to the point. Thank you so much 💕
This is AMAZING, the best back stitch tutorial I have ever seen! I picked it up like *that*. Showed my project to my mom and she thought I had done them on a sewing machine! I'm very grateful and enjoying hand stitching again, thank you!
Thank goodness there are people who still teach like amazing teachers your institutions just helped me make a set of Valentine’s Day wrist cuffs with red and pink hearts and a red bow to tie them off!
I’m a newbie to sewing and this tutorial has been super helpful! I’ll definitely use this stitch technique for all of my projects from now on. I did invest in a decent sewing machine but the noise and the speed gives me the worst sensory overload. Hand sewing is definitely more therapeutic and I feel like I’m in more control when I can directly place the individual stitches. Thank you so much for a great tutorial!
I’ve been sewing 54 years. Started at 6 (yes 6) went on to work for 3 well known fashion brands and have loved sewing since day 1! My favorite is hand stitching which my Grandmother taught me. She hand stitched quilts (not one stitch by machine) she would make big money with her quilts. These days I make plushie dolls for kids (hand stitched) . There is nothing like knowing the dolls I make are so loved. My 18 year old niece still has the doll I made her 12 years ago (first doll I made). I have a small sewing box that I take with me because there’s always some kind of wait which gives me more sewing time. I love that there are videos like this teaching people the basics of sewing so they too can enjoy the art of sewing! 💕💕
Thank you so much for going so slow and in depth. I thought the back of my fabric looked so terrible but I think this will help me get my hand-stitching a lot more clean. Thank you!!
My grandma Elsie taught me this yrs and yrs ago and I forgot. Then today I was shown a basic stitching and how to tie it off and I got so excited because what I had sewn actually stayed together. It has opened up a whole new world to me! Its exciting!
LOVE this tutorial! I’m working on handmade fabric-covered journals and I wanted to add stitching, but was reluctant to haul out my sewing machine which I’m still just learning to use, and this tutorial was perfect timing! Thank you so much for sharing!
I really like how you explained this - I feel like it "stuck" this time. I learned some basic hand stitching (like this backstitch) when I was a little kid but have completely forgotten...this video is absolutely perfect. I'm starting to watch some of your other videos now too and noticed you do a right AND left handed version for each - how cool!
I learned this in 4th grade. We were taught a whole bunch but this stitch made an impression on me because it was the easiest, most beautiful, and the strongest. We had to make a Knapsack bag and a doll and I used this stitch for them.
You, my lady are amazing. I have been wanting to sew for years and I got a machine in may 2022. I live in Belgium and sewing classes are not easy to find here in my country. After hours of despair and crying trying to figure this thing out have I nearly given up sewing. And now I just fixed a hole in a pair of leggings using this method. I thank you so much for bringing me and my sewing dreams hope! 😊
This was one of the first stitches I learned when I started quilting with my mom and grandmother. It came in quite handy for repairing dolls, bears and camels when my kids were young and for stitching treasured dog and cat toys back together after some rough play. All in all, I’d say it’s the best stitch for hand sewing.
I finally found a channel that was helpful, I want to start a hair supplies business that makes bows, scrunchies, etc but no video has been good and this is the best tutorial I’ve ever seen! TYSM! I subbed
This is an absolutely wonderful video. Very clear instructions, no extra fluff, filmed slowly enough to understand (for me a beginner), and a joy to watch!
I stopped the video at 34 seconds. I learned like 3 things. Nothing more annoying than a ten minute introduction saying nothing like most videos. Of course I saw the whole thing. Nice job!
I appreciate the spoiler. I sifted through the instructions, it looks like a thorough delineation of the backstitch, ideal for beginners, or people honestly wanting to understand the logistics of tidy,controlled precision stitches. With the narrators soothing voice and slow clear movements, it seems a great thing to watch & listen to as I sew my own way. I will not be surprised if I learn something.
Easy to follow the clear thread of the presentation, which is right to the point. At school in sewing lessons I made sure to sit on a table with five girls, figuring they'd know how to do things much better than I could (shocking, I know), so I never learnt anything. Thank goodness for TH-cam and people willing to share their skills, now I actually need it.
Wow, so glad I found this. I am new to stitching and had no idea I've been sewing backwards (right to left as a right-handed person), lol! Thank you for the wonderful tutorial!
Thank you very much for taking the time to share your knowledge of this stitching process through this video. I truly appreciate it. I've dropped 1.5 sizes in the last year and have been dreading the idea of having to pay $100s to taylor all my shirts. Your kindness to share your knowledge is saving this dad lots of $$$ that now can go towards my wife and son arriving Feb '22 ❤️
I’m so glad that it helps you save money! Look around on the channel for some other tutorials that will also be helpful for re-stitching seams on shirts. Specifically the Felled seam tutorials should be helpful to you. Congratulations on your growing family!
How does TH-cam know that I know how to sew? I never watch or search for anything related to sewing. But I did watch and find the information useful.😊😊😊
Thanks so much for this video! I've been watching Sashiko & Boro stitching videos and am inspired to do a garment all handstitched...and your video gave me a clear view and tips for handsewing a seam. I also appreciate the short preamble. Thanks again!
I have two sewing machines and an overlock. I prefer hand stitching, I find sewing a new pattern by hand helps me feel the design better. Clothing, quilts etc all hand stitching. my Grandmother made countless quilts that won awards each time she placed them at the county fair. Every quilt was pieced and quilted by hand. Great memories learning from her. 💕
What a beautiful sentiment about connection to your grandmother. I agree so much that hand sewing allows a better understanding of the design! Thank you for your thoughtful comment. Happy sewing! 💗
It's shocking how hard ot is to find good, clear, quick stitching tutorials. This was clear, didn't waste time with any nonsense and showed everthing needed (especially starting and tying off which most tutorials I found just do too fast or skip altogether). Thank you.
Thank you so much for this amazing tutorial. It's so detailed and easy to follow. I'm all thumbs and also can't stay focused for a long time but thanks to your video I was able to save my outfit for the day~
Neat stitching, very well explained and very therapeutic to watch. I'm having very challenging times in my life and videos like this are a godsend. They really do help my mental health. So thank you very much.👍🏿🙏🏿UK 🇬🇧
So glad this is therapeutic. I hope the other videos are also helpful. Sending you connection and peace as you ride this challenging time. You are not alone. ❤️
"Bisecting the distance" such a great explanation. It is very satisfying to watch you stitch. I'm here to learn hand stitching to repair the velcro clasp on my motorcycle gloves. Thank you!
This is an excellent tutorial. Thank you so much for the great tips. The video is so clear and close so that I can see exactly what you are doing, and the narration was perfect. I will be trying this tonight as a complete beginner.
A clear presentation, you must be quite experienced to pick out the essential elements in this way, was impressed with your comment about the thread bisecting the distance between the front and back of the needle. I really enjoy sewing with just a needle and thread, it has become much easier over time, and just finished replacing a zip by hand for the first time, heady business indeed. Haven't looked into the world of historical sewing yet, but can see it must be very interesting. Great video, thanks.
Thanks for watching! I used to work at a museum hand sewing 18th century English system clothing everyday for 10 years. That really developed my skill. I am so glad to pass it on. I love hand sewing and find so much benefit to it. I’m glad you are enjoying it too!
Really beautiful, uniform sewing. Reminds me of when I would watch my great grandmother mend garments by hand when time allowed. Her lines were incredible, and she made it look easy, just like you do. Appreciate the lesson immensely
My mother got me a brand new sewing machine for my birthday this year so I can make my own cosplays! I'm starting here, to kind of help with my very poor fine motor skills and this video was very helpful. Hopefully I'll be sewing soon!
thank you!! this was such a good tutorial. I don't know anything about sewing, and I just needed a super simple instruction like this one. keep up the great work :)
Thank you for this! I've been looking for something like this for a long time. I have a sewing machine but it's very old and not in a very good condition. You are a really good instructor. Clear and detailed instructions, close view of the stitches and no wasting time. Great job, love it! 💕 👍 Edit: I just subscribed!
You’re welcome! So glad it’s helpful to you!! I have a library of other tutorials as well. Thanks for the sub!! I hope you have a wonderful time sewing along! 💗
Was thought to hand sew as a child,I still know understand to used a sewing machine,so I used my hand to repair a tear or other sewing on clothes sometimes,but I am also glad to learn new hand sewing techniques.
This video was perfect! No long, unnecessary introductions-just straight to the point. I am just getting into hand sewing and this video clearly showed me the back stitch plus how to start it and knot it off perfectly! I am definitely subscribing because this is exactly the type of tutorial I was looking for and I know that your videos will be helpful as I progress with my sewing! Thank you so much!
At 1:52 I had a “why didn’t I think of that” moment. So simple, so smart. I feel a little dumb now but that’s ok since I just got a little smarter 😅 Thank you master 🙏
I just wanted to say something so you had an encouraging reply to your comment. Sewing isn’t something I’m very good at either, and it’s ok to recognize the things that don’t come as easy to us. In fact, it reassures others that they aren’t the only ones. I think that’s great and so are you. 😊
It's okay if sewing doesn't come naturally to you right away. I'm not the best myself, but it doesn't mean you should give up! Mistakes are a part of life.
Amazing video, thank you! I’m planning to refresh my couch and was just planning the easiest way to make a super size cushion cover. I don’t have a sewing machine and haven’t sewn in a while so this was a much - needed reminder that we can do tons of things by hand
this is simply the best and most helpful tutorial i've seen so far, many people make 10 minute videos to teach one simple stitch you could learn in less than a minute, your demonstration was very clear and straight forward, i didn't even turn the volume up to follow the instructions beacause the visuals are so clear and simple. in short, thats a great video thank you very much
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THIS TUTORIAL!!! Just started my first work of cosplay with first time stitiching and your instructions are so precise I managed to do it pretty decently!!🤧✌
Use sewing chalk to lightly MARK the line, so when you get cross eyed from too much sewing, you still get the sewing line accurately lined up! Love sewing! Summer shorts all fell apart, especially the Armani expensive ones, so just sew them up! UK 🇬🇧🍾
Hello ma'm, I am 14 (soon 15) and I love sewing though our sewing machine doesn't work well and I thought about hand sewing which sounds hard, but when I came across your channel I realised its much easier. My dream is to be an orthodontist and a fashion designer as an extra job. I also subscribed to your amazing channel ❤❤
So glad to find hand sewing instructions. I love to sew with my hands and fingers, mending is my happy time. I have been sewing, all forms, for a long long time. I even still have my Mom's old Singer she made my doll clothes on, then I made my daughter clothes on it. This is almost as good as reading, well not quite but almost. Thank you for sharing.
I’ve never been able to hand sew really, I rely on my machine but want to get better with hand sewing. Not only did I learn about how to do this stitch, but I learned the ACTUAL use of a thimble. Always knew they were for handsewing and protecting the finger, didn’t realize you use them to move the needle at times… This video is fantastic! I learned so much and the camera work is amazing, the words direct and understandable! Great work!!!
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED VIDEO!!!... Ive never appreciated a hand sewing video as much as this one i learned so much. i am a beginner only for ripped fabric at home purposes so i occasionally watch videos but i only watched 4 in total before this WINNER i was clueless before but now this is stuck in my mind and i will never forget how to sew and end the stich HIGHLY RECOMMENDED VIDEO FOR ANY PURPOSE!!!
I hated sewing class in school but I love jewellery making and fashion styling so it never made sense why I had such a hard time back then. Either I had a bad teacher or was just too much of a mopey teenager, because all the avoidance around stitching vanished once I followed this. Thank you so much, I've just learnt a new valuable skill - actually life changing ❤
Thank you so much!! I've watched quite a few sewing by hand for beginners videos and yours is my favorite. So well explained and great visual. I'm making some dog bandanas and simple dog treat pouches and wanted to try doing it by hand. So far not the prettiest stitches but still very functional. Thank you!! 😀
Thanks for teaching an old soldier a new sewing trick! Uniforms, alterations, gear repair and more have made me learn to hand sew many years ago. Still doing that but now also repairing stuffed animals and torn clothes my kids rip while playing make improving hand sewing still important.
mindblown, this is the best tutorial I've ever seen, easy to follow, the visual is clear, and your guidance is so thorough but not too complicated, and the most important is, it's straight to the point! thank you so muchh 👌🏼
I don’t have a sewing machine and found your video. I think I can do this! I’m sewing a small cotton baby blanket. It’s basically sewing the two pieces of material together and then putting in the batting. It’s all new to me but I’m excited to see how it turns out. Thank you for your easy to follow directions!
Excellent!! Loved the hint on using the tail to' bisect' to create stitches that are even! And Such a relief that you went straight to the instructions😊
For those of us that dont know too much about sewing or for those of us that were doing it wrong all along this video is simple and very helpful. Thank you
Thank you for showing me how to do this stitch. It has been too many years since I have hand sewn anything! I really appreciate your tutorial! ~Janet in Canada
No wonder cloths were expensive before sewing machines were invented. Imagine doing a whole outfit this way.
They had a lot more time back in those days...no internet, no radio, no concerts 7 days a week....just work, home, and friends. Real friends, not "FaceBook" friends.
Going back even farther, no electricity! Imagine that!
Not all sewing was done with the steady back stitch. For long stretches of fabric which would not be strained while wearing (such as skirt side seams below the hip), it was common to use a running stitch which allowed for multiple stitches to be sewn in one motion, with backstitches only occasionally as well as each end of the seam.
@@Name-ps9fxand you can sew while talking
Ikr. I’m learning how to do this to make a lining for a bag I crocheted. I can’t imagine doing this for an entire outfit. Especially one that has so much fabric like old clothes do. Those massive skirts would take ages for me to make
People that say it annoying to hand stitch are crazy ,it’s relaxing and addictive. You teach it so well ,great video.
I agree but stiching straight is so hard
YES! It's like popping bubblewrap but at the end, instead of having a wasted sheet of plastic, you have a new item.
So true , it's very therapeutic for me.
To each, their own.
I am a long haul trucker, I haul steel and other flatbed commodities so my clothing gets a beating. I don't have room for a sewing machine in the truck so I hand stitch... a lot 😂. I put on music or a show on the TV and just sew up holes, sew patches and I have been known to taper and hem some of my jeans, all with hand stitches.
Remember that in school, we didn't have sewing machines, so, we were all taught the backstitch. We hand stitched blouses, skirts, aprons. Every line of stitching was inspected, must be straight and even, else undo every stitch to redo..
I enjoyed every needle work class...it was like foundation of my sewing background
That sounds really nice because those skills aren't taught in schools anymore. I wish I could've been taught in school but at least there's youtube.
@georgebeckons539 new life teacher is now TH-cam...but must use one's discretion...💝
When I i was young, I i hated hand stitching. Now? I love it. Thank you, Grandma! 🧵
Nothing more satisfying than a tutorial video that goes straight to the point without long-winded, boring introductions that make you lose interest in the video from the very beginning before you even get to learn something. GREAT JOB!! This is a great video!
Thank you!! I really don’t like it when TH-camrs talk about nothing for 10 min. Glad you appreciated this!
So true! Long-winded, totally irrelevant introductions madden me but you just get into it and give us what we need.
I agree wholeheartedly..
My thoughts exactly.
Oh, wow. _Technically,_ I already knew how to backstitch, but keeping my stitch line even and straight has often eluded me. The tip about the tail being halfway between where the needle goes in and comes out just absolutely _blew my mind_ for how much simpler it was than I had expected. I haven't actually tried it out myself yet, but a big preemptive thank you!
This is the stitch used before the creation of the sewing machine when clothes were made by hand. It’s a very strong stitch and looks beautiful when done.
@Cindi Foore That was the second stitch my mother taught me to use when I started making doll clothes.
Only if you don't sew crookedly like I do. 😳
@@scootermom1791 to be fair, I've done crooked sewing on machines too, takes a lot of practice for both hahah
@@alexandersmith4731 "sew" true.... ha-ha! Couldn't resist that one. 🙂

I have two engineering degrees. This has always been an obscure wizardry to me that only a few chosen ones could understand. Thanks for the video!!!
You’re welcome! My father is an engineer and having his perspective has helped me with my sewing.
Everyone has a specialty. For me it's sewing and being a nurse. Sewing can be fun.
As a leftie I'm appreciative of the (RIGHT HANDED) label. When I was first learning I would always hold my fabric the same orientation as everyone else and could not for the life of me figure out why I was struggling so much. Once it hit me that I just had to turn it around I felt so silly. Story of my life though: learning to tie my shoes was a journey.
You’re welcome! Did you see the (LEFT HANDED) version?
Fellow leftie, here. I had similar experiences learning to hand sew, embroider, or crochet.
@Sewn Company: Oh my goodness... you did a left-handed version. How wonderful.
@@user-mv9tt4st9k yes! All my tutorials have a left and right handed versions 🙌🏻🎉💗
I still can't knit and I strongly suspect it's because of the LHS RHS situation
@@saritshull3909 Please give it another go with the necessary guidance - life would be so much poorer in my experience, we’re it not for knitting and crocheting!
I love your comment ‘as alway remember to sit up straight etc etc’. A lot of crafter get in the moment and forget to sit up straight etc. It was a great reminder and your voice is so calming and gentle 😊
What a beautiful and functional stitch. And thankyou for immediately starting your tutorial without the usual annoying 5 minute rambling that we have to endure with so many other videos. Great job!
You’re welcome! Glad it was helpful and to the point!! Thanks for your comment. Happy sewing!
Right! I’m liking and subscribing because I appreciate her no nonsense, no filler approach. I may finally learn a thing or two!
I agree with the other two comments…much better than the ones with the *I wanna be a star* videos we see.

Thousands of years of sewing skills all put into a 5 minute video
Cheers
No music at all (it's super disturbing go me😅), no unnecessary long introduction, and great explanation! That's the perfect video for me!!
I've actually watched that video last year and I came back to say that I became addicted to hand stitching because of you and I'm greatly advancing in my hobby.
So thank you! ✨✨
The tip about the tail bisecting the distance is just gold, loving your videos they are so clear and well-narrated.
Tysm!
This is the best, most detailed instruction on historical sewing I have ever found. Thank you for posting these videos!
I am so humbled!! And really excited you got something from it!! You’re welcome and Happy sewing!
@@sewncompanyhow much would u charge to send me a hand sewn plain black t shirt?
@@sewncompanyI'm from the future, I'm here to join myself to that collective thank you!
your voice is perfect for tutorials and the way you don't talk about sewing for fifteen minutes without teaching anything is perfect thank you!
I am embarking on my first ever sewing, and I am SO HAPPY this video exists! Thank you so very much.
Wonderful!! You’re welcome! Happy Sewing!!
Hi!! Lol super late comment but I’m just about to start my own embark, how was your journey?? After two years haha.
So I'm a newbie when it comes to sewing , and I'm also about to be a new grandma and I wanted to make my newborn grandson his own baby blanket until I realized I don't know how to sew.... 😅 So I watched MANY sewing " how to's ", and they were just not helping. Then I found this video and found it to be very easy to follow ... so I'm about to start my baby blanket, and we'll see how it turns out. I'll post pics when done. Thanks for your video 😊
I'm hand stitching my blocks by hand for a baby's blanket. Hand Stitching Quilts is a lost art and I want to do it 100% by hand to include the Quilting detail once the blanket pieces are put together. Thank you for this tutorial. I think this stitch will make my blanket squares stronger!
What a wonderful project!! I’m so glad this will be helpful. I would also recommend this stitch too for piecing: th-cam.com/video/3pRtOLrzheg/w-d-xo.html Happy Sewing!!
My grandmomma used to hand stitch quilts all the time. It really is a lost art! My momma also sews too, but she's never sewn quilts. She'd sewn clothes and crochets. I've learned from my mom how to crochet and how to sew and crochet as well! It's so relaxing. :) I'm also crocheting a baby blanket at the moment!
Excellent examples, of hand stitching & how to make an instructive video. No narcissistic overblown intro.
Bring backs all memories when I was in elementary and high school. We have this kind of subject, we made apron, shorts and bags all in hand Sewing!

Nice! We never had home economics in school, although I believe it is very important!
Excellent tutorial! I took a machine sewing class a few years ago. When I was done, I gave away my sewing machine. I still wanted to sew. Glad I found your channel. Also glad there's no distracting background music in this video. Thanks again.
You’re welcome! Happy (hand) sewing!
wow i went to school for fashion and I grasped more from this than my entire freshman year😭 so helpful and straightforward thanks for sharing❤️👏🏾
☺️ so glad it was helpful!! ❤️🪡🎉
They didn't teach you to sew?!
@@dshe8637 nope. my fashion classes were sadly very little hands-on, we were held responsible for “learning by ourselves” at home then applying it in class which was almost 100% TH-cam based..I can count on one hand the amount of times we had a hands-on demonstration like by our professors that’s why I left and continued to be self-taught from home lol
@@Mari-it2de damn that fashion school don't sound that good lmao but tbh they probably just expect you to know basic sewing if you're getting into a fashion class
Math in higher Ed. can also just be TH-cam & homework.
This was super easy to understand. I appreciate how straight to the point it was, I usually have a hard time paying attention
I'm teaching myself how to sew in order to one day teach my 7 yr old daughter how to sew as well because she wants to be a fashion designer 😍 this tutorial was simple and to the point. Thank you so much 💕
This is so sweet i wish my mother did the same for me when I was younger. Your child is so lucky to have a mother like you!
This is AMAZING, the best back stitch tutorial I have ever seen! I picked it up like *that*. Showed my project to my mom and she thought I had done them on a sewing machine! I'm very grateful and enjoying hand stitching again, thank you!
Hello 👋 how are you doing?
Thank goodness there are people who still teach like amazing teachers your institutions just helped me make a set of Valentine’s Day wrist cuffs with red and pink hearts and a red bow to tie them off!
Hello how are you doing?
For someone like me (a bit of a doofus at sewing), your video is perfect - clear instructions without being patronising. Thank you!
I’m a newbie to sewing and this tutorial has been super helpful! I’ll definitely use this stitch technique for all of my projects from now on. I did invest in a decent sewing machine but the noise and the speed gives me the worst sensory overload. Hand sewing is definitely more therapeutic and I feel like I’m in more control when I can directly place the individual stitches. Thank you so much for a great tutorial!
I’ve been sewing 54 years. Started at 6 (yes 6) went on to work for 3 well known fashion brands and have loved sewing since day 1! My favorite is hand stitching which my Grandmother taught me. She hand stitched quilts (not one stitch by machine) she would make big money with her quilts. These days I make plushie dolls for kids (hand stitched) . There is nothing like knowing the dolls I make are so loved. My 18 year old niece still has the doll I made her 12 years ago (first doll I made). I have a small sewing box that I take with me because there’s always some kind of wait which gives me more sewing time. I love that there are videos like this teaching people the basics of sewing so they too can enjoy the art of sewing! 💕💕
Thank you so much for going so slow and in depth. I thought the back of my fabric looked so terrible but I think this will help me get my hand-stitching a lot more clean. Thank you!!
My grandma Elsie taught me this yrs and yrs ago and I forgot. Then today I was shown a basic stitching and how to tie it off and I got so excited because what I had sewn actually stayed together. It has opened up a whole new world to me! Its exciting!
LOVE this tutorial! I’m working on handmade fabric-covered journals and I wanted to add stitching, but was reluctant to haul out my sewing machine which I’m still just learning to use, and this tutorial was perfect timing! Thank you so much for sharing!
What a cool project! So glad this was helpful! I have others on this channel that may be helpful to you as well. Happy sewing!
I really like how you explained this - I feel like it "stuck" this time. I learned some basic hand stitching (like this backstitch) when I was a little kid but have completely forgotten...this video is absolutely perfect. I'm starting to watch some of your other videos now too and noticed you do a right AND left handed version for each - how cool!
I learned this in 4th grade. We were taught a whole bunch but this stitch made an impression on me because it was the easiest, most beautiful, and the strongest. We had to make a Knapsack bag and a doll and I used this stitch for them.
You, my lady are amazing. I have been wanting to sew for years and I got a machine in may 2022. I live in Belgium and sewing classes are not easy to find here in my country. After hours of despair and crying trying to figure this thing out have I nearly given up sewing. And now I just fixed a hole in a pair of leggings using this method. I thank you so much for bringing me and my sewing dreams hope! 😊
😘🥰You went straight at it. Not wasting time at all and teaching us the needed. Thanks a lot!❤️
This was one of the first stitches I learned when I started quilting with my mom and grandmother. It came in quite handy for repairing dolls, bears and camels when my kids were young and for stitching treasured dog and cat toys back together after some rough play. All in all, I’d say it’s the best stitch for hand sewing.
I finally found a channel that was helpful, I want to start a hair supplies business that makes bows, scrunchies, etc but no video has been good and this is the best tutorial I’ve ever seen! TYSM! I subbed
This is an absolutely wonderful video. Very clear instructions, no extra fluff, filmed slowly enough to understand (for me a beginner), and a joy to watch!
I stopped the video at 34 seconds. I learned like 3 things. Nothing more annoying than a ten minute introduction saying nothing like most videos. Of course I saw the whole thing. Nice job!
I’m so glad it was helpful! Thank you for letting me know!
Amen Alan Stevens! 🙌 Hand stitchers don’t waste no time! 😀☺️🙌
I appreciate the spoiler. I sifted through the instructions, it looks like a thorough delineation of the backstitch, ideal for beginners, or people honestly wanting to understand the logistics of tidy,controlled precision stitches.
With the narrators soothing voice and slow clear movements, it seems a great thing to watch & listen to as I sew my own way. I will not be surprised if I learn something.
I like the way you didn't yack alot. You got right to the point. Thank you for sharing
Plot twist..
Easy to follow the clear thread of the presentation, which is right to the point. At school in sewing lessons I made sure to sit on a table with five girls, figuring they'd know how to do things much better than I could (shocking, I know), so I never learnt anything. Thank goodness for TH-cam and people willing to share their skills, now I actually need it.
Wow, so glad I found this. I am new to stitching and had no idea I've been sewing backwards (right to left as a right-handed person), lol! Thank you for the wonderful tutorial!
This is perfect for me. I need to reattach a pocket to an apron and had no idea where to start. Thanks for the excellent and concise video!
Thank you very much for taking the time to share your knowledge of this stitching process through this video. I truly appreciate it.
I've dropped 1.5 sizes in the last year and have been dreading the idea of having to pay $100s to taylor all my shirts.
Your kindness to share your knowledge is saving this dad lots of $$$ that now can go towards my wife and son arriving Feb '22 ❤️
I’m so glad that it helps you save money! Look around on the channel for some other tutorials that will also be helpful for re-stitching seams on shirts. Specifically the Felled seam tutorials should be helpful to you. Congratulations on your growing family!
Oh! Bless you! I’ve wanted to sit and see without my machine. Thank you so much!
How does TH-cam know that I know how to sew? I never watch or search for anything related to sewing. But I did watch and find the information useful.😊😊😊
Thanks so much for this video! I've been watching Sashiko & Boro stitching videos and am inspired to do a garment all handstitched...and your video gave me a clear view and tips for handsewing a seam. I also appreciate the short preamble. Thanks again!
I have two sewing machines and an overlock. I prefer hand stitching, I find sewing a new pattern by hand helps me feel the design better. Clothing, quilts etc all hand stitching. my Grandmother made countless quilts that won awards each time she placed them at the county fair. Every quilt was pieced and quilted by hand. Great memories learning from her. 💕
What a beautiful sentiment about connection to your grandmother. I agree so much that hand sewing allows a better understanding of the design! Thank you for your thoughtful comment. Happy sewing! 💗
It's shocking how hard ot is to find good, clear, quick stitching tutorials. This was clear, didn't waste time with any nonsense and showed everthing needed (especially starting and tying off which most tutorials I found just do too fast or skip altogether). Thank you.
Ikr? You usually have to listen to their life story first, lol
Still Helping People in Dec 6th 2024👏👏👏👏
Hi! You're a life saver! Any and all sewing tutorials on YT seem to need a sewing machine which is not owned by all people out there.
Thank you so much for this amazing tutorial.
It's so detailed and easy to follow.
I'm all thumbs and also can't stay focused for a long time but thanks to your video I was able to save my outfit for the day~
You’re welcome!! Yay for saving your outfit!! 🎉💗
thank you so much for this! i wanted to get into stitching things like fixing my old clothes i don't wear anymore and this one helped me.
Neat stitching, very well explained and very therapeutic to watch. I'm having very challenging times in my life and videos like this are a godsend. They really do help my mental health. So thank you very much.👍🏿🙏🏿UK 🇬🇧
So glad this is therapeutic. I hope the other videos are also helpful. Sending you connection and peace as you ride this challenging time. You are not alone. ❤️
"Bisecting the distance" such a great explanation. It is very satisfying to watch you stitch. I'm here to learn hand stitching to repair the velcro clasp on my motorcycle gloves. Thank you!
As an artist I like to try new things to push my skills. Looking forward to learning as much as I can from your channel.
Very cool! Lots of tutorials here to practice along! Happy stitching!
Awesome. Thanks! And hats off to you for no annoying background music loops or other distracting sound effects.
THANK YOU so much for this!
It’s simple, on point, easy to pick up, and looks beautiful & sturdy.
Your stitches look so professional!💖
This is an excellent tutorial. Thank you so much for the great tips. The video is so clear and close so that I can see exactly what you are doing, and the narration was perfect. I will be trying this tonight as a complete beginner.
A clear presentation, you must be quite experienced to pick out the essential elements in this way, was impressed with your comment about the thread bisecting the distance between the front and back of the needle. I really enjoy sewing with just a needle and thread, it has become much easier over time, and just finished replacing a zip by hand for the first time, heady business indeed. Haven't looked into the world of historical sewing yet, but can see it must be very interesting. Great video, thanks.
Thanks for watching! I used to work at a museum hand sewing 18th century English system clothing everyday for 10 years. That really developed my skill. I am so glad to pass it on. I love hand sewing and find so much benefit to it. I’m glad you are enjoying it too!
Really beautiful, uniform sewing. Reminds me of when I would watch my great grandmother mend garments by hand when time allowed. Her lines were incredible, and she made it look easy, just like you do. Appreciate the lesson immensely
thank you for this! i can finally thrift my old clothes
Wonderful!! You’re welcome!
My mother got me a brand new sewing machine for my birthday this year so I can make my own cosplays! I'm starting here, to kind of help with my very poor fine motor skills and this video was very helpful. Hopefully I'll be sewing soon!
thank you!! this was such a good tutorial. I don't know anything about sewing, and I just needed a super simple instruction like this one. keep up the great work :)
I’m so thrilled it was helpful to you!!
Just what i needed. Looked up how to sew and got machine tutorials.
This is an amazing tutorial! I was struggling with keeping my stitches even and your tip was very helpful!
So glad it was helpful!!
BEST TUTORIAL YET!!! Thank You for not over complicating it for no reason! 🥹🥰🥰🥰💗💗💗‼️‼️‼️🍾
Thank you for this! I've been looking for something like this for a long time. I have a sewing machine but it's very old and not in a very good condition. You are a really good instructor. Clear and detailed instructions, close view of the stitches and no wasting time. Great job, love it! 💕 👍
Edit: I just subscribed!
You’re welcome! So glad it’s helpful to you!! I have a library of other tutorials as well. Thanks for the sub!! I hope you have a wonderful time sewing along! 💗
I'd recommend getting it serviced.
Was thought to hand sew as a child,I still know understand to used a sewing machine,so I used my hand to repair a tear or other sewing on clothes sometimes,but I am also glad to learn new hand sewing techniques.
Thank you, so, SO much! This is the best tutorial I have ever seen. I'm so excited to start sewing. You are appreciated.
You’re welcome!! So glad it is helpful! Thanks for the kind feedback. Happy sewing!!
@@sewncompany Just tried it. It turned out great! :) Thank you again haha
This video was perfect! No long, unnecessary introductions-just straight to the point. I am just getting into hand sewing and this video clearly showed me the back stitch plus how to start it and knot it off perfectly! I am definitely subscribing because this is exactly the type of tutorial I was looking for and I know that your videos will be helpful as I progress with my sewing! Thank you so much!
Wonderful!! So glad to help you along in your hand-sewing journey. 🪡💖
At 1:52 I had a “why didn’t I think of that” moment. So simple, so smart. I feel a little dumb now but that’s ok since I just got a little smarter 😅 Thank you master 🙏
I am horrible at sewing, even after watching these tutorials. I have to admit I am deficient in this area.
Okay great
I just wanted to say something so you had an encouraging reply to your comment. Sewing isn’t something I’m very good at either, and it’s ok to recognize the things that don’t come as easy to us. In fact, it reassures others that they aren’t the only ones. I think that’s great and so are you. 😊
It's okay if sewing doesn't come naturally to you right away. I'm not the best myself, but it doesn't mean you should give up! Mistakes are a part of life.
Amazing video, thank you! I’m planning to refresh my couch and was just planning the easiest way to make a super size cushion cover. I don’t have a sewing machine and haven’t sewn in a while so this was a much - needed reminder that we can do tons of things by hand
Huh😳…very informative and easy especially for someone who doesn’t have a sewing machine or is a beginner ☺️
this is simply the best and most helpful tutorial i've seen so far, many people make 10 minute videos to teach one simple stitch you could learn in less than a minute, your demonstration was very clear and straight forward, i didn't even turn the volume up to follow the instructions beacause the visuals are so clear and simple. in short, thats a great video thank you very much
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THIS TUTORIAL!!! Just started my first work of cosplay with first time stitiching and your instructions are so precise I managed to do it pretty decently!!🤧✌
Hooray!!!! You’re welcome!!
Use sewing chalk to lightly MARK the line, so when you get cross eyed from too much sewing, you still get the sewing line accurately lined up! Love sewing!
Summer shorts all fell apart, especially the Armani expensive ones, so just sew them up! UK 🇬🇧🍾
Hello ma'm, I am 14 (soon 15) and I love sewing though our sewing machine doesn't work well and I thought about hand sewing which sounds hard, but when I came across your channel I realised its much easier.
My dream is to be an orthodontist and a fashion designer as an extra job. I also subscribed to your amazing channel ❤❤
That is so awesome! Happy sewing! 💖
@@sewncompany ❤❤
@SKZ.Biased I really hope that your dreams will come true in your life...
Just focus and work hard
As a Chinese, we say...JIAYIU!!!
@@paulinewqi OMG I FORGOT ABT THIS COMMENT HAHHAHAAHHA
I DONT EVEN WANNA BE AN ORTHODONTIST OR A FASHION DESIGNER ANYMORE 😭
@SKZ.Biased GREAT!!.👍..You were 14years old then...of course you are at liberty to change your mind....bless you...💝
So glad to find hand sewing instructions. I love to sew with my hands and fingers, mending is my happy time. I have been sewing, all forms, for a long long time. I even still have my Mom's old Singer she made my doll clothes on, then I made my daughter clothes on it. This is almost as good as reading, well not quite but almost. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you!I'm sewing my own shorts by hand and this really helped❤
Wonderful! You’re welcome!
Ooh! I want see a skirt by hand? How was the experience of sewing the skirt?
I’ve never been able to hand sew really, I rely on my machine but want to get better with hand sewing.
Not only did I learn about how to do this stitch, but I learned the ACTUAL use of a thimble. Always knew they were for handsewing and protecting the finger, didn’t realize you use them to move the needle at times…
This video is fantastic! I learned so much and the camera work is amazing, the words direct and understandable! Great work!!!
Thank you!!
tysm i have a project due tomorrow and this helped
Awesome! You’re welcome!
It's a pleasure watching someone with skills with also good teaching skills.

Needle doesn’t touch my thumb. Pushed it down and the needle clears it.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED VIDEO!!!... Ive never appreciated a hand sewing video as much as this one i learned so much. i am a beginner only for ripped fabric at home purposes so i occasionally watch videos but i only watched 4 in total before this WINNER i was clueless before but now this is stuck in my mind and i will never forget how to sew and end the stich HIGHLY RECOMMENDED VIDEO FOR ANY PURPOSE!!!
Thank you so much!!

I hated sewing class in school but I love jewellery making and fashion styling so it never made sense why I had such a hard time back then.
Either I had a bad teacher or was just too much of a mopey teenager, because all the avoidance around stitching vanished once I followed this. Thank you so much, I've just learnt a new valuable skill - actually life changing ❤
@@AzuraFallen you’re welcome and thank you for sharing this! it’s really rewarding to know how much this has inspired you. ❤️
Thank you so much!! I've watched quite a few sewing by hand for beginners videos and yours is my favorite. So well explained and great visual. I'm making some dog bandanas and simple dog treat pouches and wanted to try doing it by hand. So far not the prettiest stitches but still very functional. Thank you!! 😀
Thanks for teaching an old soldier a new sewing trick! Uniforms, alterations, gear repair and more have made me learn to hand sew many years ago. Still doing that but now also repairing stuffed animals and torn clothes my kids rip while playing make improving hand sewing still important.
mindblown, this is the best tutorial I've ever seen, easy to follow, the visual is clear, and your guidance is so thorough but not too complicated, and the most important is, it's straight to the point!
thank you so muchh 👌🏼
I don’t have a sewing machine and found your video. I think I can do this! I’m sewing a small cotton baby blanket. It’s basically sewing the two pieces of material together and then putting in the batting. It’s all new to me but I’m excited to see how it turns out. Thank you for your easy to follow directions!
I am saving your videos so I can reference them over and over and over thank you
Hello 👋 how’re you doing?
Excellent!!
Loved the hint on using the tail to' bisect' to create stitches that are even!
And Such a relief that you went straight to the instructions😊
For those of us that dont know too much about sewing or for those of us that were doing it wrong all along this video is simple and very helpful. Thank you
Thank you for showing me how to do this stitch. It has been too many years since I have hand sewn anything! I really appreciate your tutorial!

You’re welcome! Thanks for being here!
Oh my goodness I have been searching on TH-cam for an explanation that sticks in my head and you’ve done it. Thank you. Subscribed!
This is great. No stupid minute long intro. Right into and full of actual information.
Thank you so much! I've always wanted to sew, and this is a great tutorial for someone starting from nothing!
