💖 WHO AM I?
Hi. My name is Lisa and I’ve been sewing for many, many years. I’m self-taught and I’ve sewn almost everything and anything over the years.
I hope that you enjoy my videos. My aim is to break sewing projects down into simple steps to make every project easy and accessible for everyone. Once you’re a sewer, there’s no going back.
Happy sewing 🧵

Great video. I am in awe of the lady with nine children who sews in her spare time!
I know!!! Me too!!! I don’t know how she does it 😀
Two more tips to add to the pile: understitch - where appropriate, it always improves the look and finish of a garment. Secondly, use a walking foot. It takes a while to get used to but if you are sewing knits, slippery or fine fabric it is a lifesaver!
Oh they’re both excellent tips. Thank you. I’ve never used a walking foot before
The overlocker unpicking tip is brilliant!! Thanks Sue!
I know. It’s fab isn’t it. It should save hours
Wonderful video! My favorite tip was adding the scrap from cutting a bodice to the back of a knit garment for an automatic back facing! How creative and a resourceful use of scraps! I love this idea, Thanks so much!
Thank you. Yes that’s an excellent tip. I’d never heard of it before either
I’ve never seen your channel before but found this episode to be just a wonderful idea! Good sewists, good reminders, good new ideas. Thank you!
Thank you very much. It was a lovely video to put together with everyone’s expert knowledge ❤️
Thanks for including me in your video Lisa, some great tips from everyone - there's always something new to learn, no matter how long you've been sewing!
Yes I agree. I didn’t know half of these tips before
I use flexible Ice Cube Trays to keep my thread spools near my machine. Look nice and work to keep things at hand.
What a great idea. I would never have thought of that.
What a fantastic idea. I've been sewing for about 20 years and I've learned everything I know from really lovely generous youtubers and my wife (she got me started). Thank you to all the contributors too. Happy sewing.
Wonderful! That’s so lovely that your wife has been your tutor. And yes, there are so many wonderful TH-cam sewers.
What a wonderful idea! This is a great way to discover new sewing youtubers as well! 😊
Thank you. I’m glad you’ve found new channels to enjoy 😀
Loving the tips, I been sewing over 50 years + and still found a lot of great tips. Thanks so much!!
Me too. I’ve been sewing a similar amount of time and I learnt lots of new tips
I found Tania's tips on gathering very helpful.
Yes, I’ve already used that tip myself. I never knew it before
Thank you for putting this together! I love that so many of the sewists gave multiple tips. I have learned quite a few really good ideas that I intend to use. I have a tip that I saw on a Sewing With Nancy episode years ago. Even Nancy Zeiman had not heard it before. When you wash your fabric, if you cut off the 4 corners first, the woven fabric will not shred. I've used this tip for years.
Oh I never knew that. Thank you. That’s a top tip. I’ve also never heard of sewing with Nancy. I’ll have to look it up
What an awesome and unique video, Lisa! I’m happy you popped up on my feed this morning. This is a win-win for YT algorithms.
Thank you Lynn. I’m glad you liked the video and I’m glad you’ve found my channel 😀
This was fantastic to watch, I learnt new sewing tips and new people to follow. Thank you for doing this Lisa, it’s a great idea and encourages the feeling of being part of a sewing community
Thank you. Yes, I like the idea of the sewing community sharing their tips 😀
Thanks so much Lisa for organising this video - such a great idea. Really enjoyed hearing everyone’s tips - and so great to be part of the video too - thank you ❤❤❤
Thank you so much for taking part. Everyone’s tips are fab 😀
I love the overlocker unpicking!!!
Yes it’s a fab tip
What a great idea. Thanks to all the amazing sewists for their tips and time.😊
They were all so kind giving their time
That was fun. Good tips and good company.
Thank you. That’s sweet
Overlocking fabric before washing it is such a great idea!! Thank you Crystal @mysewcialthread !!
It is indeed a top tip 😀
What a wonderful collection of tips! I'm definitely taking these on board, thank you
Excellent. Thank you so much for joining in 😀
That was brilliant!! Thank you so much Lisa for including me in this fantastic video. I took some tips away with me 😊 x

Absolute Brilliant, well done everyone
Thank you 😀
Great video!!
Thank you
This was great and very informative.
I’m really glad 😀
My daughter has asked me for a small insulated 2 pocket dog treat belt bag. I have used so much scrap fabric trying to work this out and just can’t work it out. It has to also accommodate 1 or 2 ice packs. Such a tall task
That is indeed a big task. I hope you work it out
Great video idea!
Thank you
This was great! Thank you so much for putting this together.
You’re very welcome. It was fun to do 😀
What a great compilation of tips!! Thank you!!!

Loved this video, especially the unpicking of overlocker seams - also the one about increasing stitch length. Great tips - such a simple idea to make a compendium of sewing tips, more please!

Will do 😀
Great video! All my favourite tips plus a few more I didn’t know (or needed to be reminded of). Just wonderful, especially if you are a beginning sewist!
I’m so glad you enjoyed it 😀
I tried Ruans tip at the weekend and it works great 👍
Oh that’s fab. It’s a great tip. I’ve just got an overlocker so I’m going to get to try that tip soon as well.
@@asewinglife the video was a great idea and resource, thank you for getting everyone together x
Thank you for this video. I love this international and multicultural community that I discovered during “Covid: The Great Shutdown.” It’s wonderful to share our passion for learning and creating. I love that I “know” so many of you on this video and have subscribed to your channels, and I’m thrilled to see new faces. Life is short. Live and Love Boldly! Thank you for this! ♥️🙌🏾♥️
What a wonderful message ❤️
Love this video and thanks to all who've passed on tips. I'm subscribed to a number of channels and I'll be subcribing to more after watching this 👏👏
That’s brilliant. Thank you 😀
Lovely video with such nice people and great ideas. Especially enjoyed Theresa's wisdom about sewing what you want without getting hung up on what level of difficulty the pattern may be.
Yes, they all had such wonderful advice 😀
Fab tips, especially the cuff debunking and the overlock thread unpicking for me. Thanks ❤😊
Yes, 2 fab tips there
Ban-Rol can be used for shirt collars and fine hems also.
That’s interesting. Thank you. I’ve never heard of it before
Do you have a good source for purchasing this, searching the internet seem to be like opening a can of worms… thanks x
@@clairerosey9921 I don't know where to get it. Most fabric stores or places that sell sewing supplies should have it.
I’m afraid I’ve never used it but Crystal said on the video that she bought hers from Amazon
@@clairerosey9921
Try looking for 'horsehair tape sewing', if you have trouble finding the right product.
Great video!!! I learned a few new things. My favorite is the overlocker unpicking, the cuff that loses bulk when you snip half thru so you can divide the seams to flatten it. Lastly using the fabric at the back of the neck to create and interfacing and tack it down. Also...making a mock up from cheaper fabric that can be worn might make me actually do it. Serging fabric edges before washing is something I learned before, but glad it was included because it is so important to know that tip. TFS
I’m so glad you picked up so many new tips 😀
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you so very much for sharing these valuable tips with us and for this fabulous vlog! I’ve saved this and shared this vlog! We are so blessed to have an amazing sewing community that support each other and share their knowledge so we all can be successful in our sewing. I just wish I lived closer so that I could attend the sewing get togethers and the Shows and meet these inspiring sewists. Sending best wishes from Down Under 💖🌼🌺🌻🌸💐😎🇦🇺
You’re very welcome. I hope you find some sewing events to go to Down Under. Are you on Instagram? I see quite a few sewers on there from Australia 😀
Thank you for all the tips most of them we all learn and overcome after many years, but there is always something new to learn.
My best tip is when you get to that point when you just can’t fathom how to do something, I sit back and ask God to help me and I say Jesus if you haven’t got time can you send me someone there who can tell me how to do it and before I know it I’ve done it.
It amazes me every time. 🙏
I totally love that ❤️
When my passed I got her sewing and craft items. One of the items was a medium sized Crochet Hook. I now use it as a point turner and remember my Mom as well. Another use for a small crochet hook is to bring the Serger Tails back onto itself in the seam. Works like a charm!!! Crochet hooks are softly pointed with a hook that is so useful in sewing.put the hook about in inch from the fabric edge, grab the tail and pull it thru the stitches.
I love the fact that you’re using your Mum’s hook. That’s so wonderful. Those are great tips about using the hook. Thank you
Gosh. This is a great selection, I've learned some great new ideas - BUT, where are the guys????? There must be some more 'boy' sewers to go with you wonderful 'girls'.😊
That’s a good point. Maybe I’ll do another one and ask more male sewers. Would you like to be involved?
@@asewinglife Oh gosh, I'm a barely competent sewer, taught myself during lockdown, but love the process (and the new clothes 😀😀) This was the first of your videos I'd seen, so I'm now subscribed ❤️
Invite Cornelius Quiring
appreciate the content. One note..diversity and inclusion. With representation across the world n you tube there would be more women of color. No controversy just an observation.
Thank you. That’s a very fair point.
Brilliant! Thank you for the compilation 🙂
You’re welcome 😀
this is the first time i seen your blog and it was very informative.i leaned a lot. thank you
Oh that’s great. I’m glad you found it and I hope you enjoy some of the other videos 😀
